Dare - The Pointer Sisters just played on Gold 104;s Totally 80s - a song of theirs that isn’t I’m So Excited or Slow Hand! Haven’t heard that one on radio since 1985! Although it was sampled by Junior Jack on his “Stupidisco” in 2004 (this version I remember hearing it on Nova back in the day).

That’s a good song by Pointer sisters. I don’t recall it being played much on the air even when first released.

And it was only a minor hit here as well…

It only just made the Top 10 here in Oz (according to Wikipedia).

(and I think the song is called “Dare Me”).

For America / Jackson Browne this morning on 4KQ. An absolute gem of a song for me. It’s songs like that that 4KQ throw in from time to time that really set them apart.

indeed it did, reached #10 in Australia October 1985. #11 on the US Billboard charts. It was also #1 on the US Billboard Dance/Disco chart September 1985.

The Pointer Sisters had a bit of a run in the mid-80s. I remember they were one of the first CDs I ever bought in '86.

Why is that?

Let’s just say he prefers “Turdfarto” over “Furtado”. I agree with him- can’t stand that song, sorry.

Haha, hit the nail on the head my friend. Wrong thread for that one I’m afraid

Meanwhile, Rebel this morning played Australian Crawl - White Limbo. Very much a lesser played crawl track, can’t recall ever really hearing that on commercial radio in recent memory
