1987 the top 20 pop songs according to billboard magazine

Well, looking at the music videos of 1987. My generation had big hair which was both the men & the women. Looking back, it is quite embarrassing except for the time period because it was the "In Thing." Hah!

THE COSBY SHOW was the number #1 TV show in the ratings. No one today gets it. That show had big TV ratings because there was only 4 major networks. Cable TV was only growing at the time & Rap music was also in its' infancy. In just 1985 with I FEEL FOR YOU by Chaka Kahn featuring Melli Mel. He was asking for a Rap category inside the Grammys.

Can you believe it? WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN was the number #1 song that year. Jesus, it was so stupid, but everyone was walking like an Egyptian...,

My favorite song from 1987 was THE WAY IT IS by Bruce Hornsby. I bought the cassette tape single & worn it out. Remember, CD's weren't even on the music radar in 1987. Hah!
