Ep 32 Nov 81, Fun Boy Three, Modern Romance, Diana Ross, EWF, Dollar, George Benson, Kim Wilde

A lunatic has taken over the podcast! (Frankly he was never away). Or rather Fun Boy Three do, as we move forward into deepest November 1981 with Playlist 32. Messrs Hall, Staples and Golding become FB3 and launch their debut single as we explore the messy split from the Specials and what came next. Modern Romance then continue their formulaic party song rise through the charts and Diane Ross breaks from Motown. Earth Wind and Fire reinvent themselves for the new decade, Dollar with the help of Trevor Horn turn mirrors into magic and George Benson creates Grammy success from a compilation track. And finally Kim Wilde continues her conquering march through an epic year.  Links to Playlist 32: Spotify Apple Music In case the playlist hyperlinks don't work on your podcast platform of choice, the songs are: 1.
