Madonna burst into pop culture with her belly button on display under ripped clothes. It really was a phenomenon as teen girls dressed like that all year round. TV stars copied that look later & showed their belly buttons at award shows through their gowns. Madonna's LIKE A VIRGIN record song was huge. I mean huge...!
MURDER, SHE WROTE on CBS became a hit with older audiences & ran for an astonishing 12 TV seasons. Angela Lansbury was nominated for her lead work in the TV show, but never won an Emmy award. Not one single Emmy. -- 60 MINUTES on CBS is still running - but back in 1985 - it was a monster TV hit with the old, older audiences. Nothing stopped the 1 hour program on Sunday nights. It trounced all the competition when there was only 3 major networks, ABC, NBC & CBS.
George Michael was going to leave the group WHAM & it really was a big deal. Their biggest hit was CARELESS WHISPER. 2 years later, Michael was the biggest pop-star on the planet with FAITH. I'd have to say my favorite song of 1985 was IN MY HOUSE by the Mary Jane Girls. It would start every house party at my college. A real close second is EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD by Tears for Fears. I wore out the cassette singles of both songs. Remember, there were no CD's back in 1985. We had cassette boom boxes. Hah!
