"Pink Cadillac", the B-side, charts alongside the re-entry of "Dancing In The Dark", giving Bruce Springsteen two tracks in the Top 10. But my featured single this week is by Kirsty...

[Whitneyfan]

It's quite shocking how few of Kirsty MacColl's singles missed the charts altogether. I've made a note to chart the excellent follow-up 'He's on the beach' in June when it was released.

____________________________________________

Perhaps surprisingly, Amii Stewart makes a comeback. She did a couple of high-energy covers of classic 60s songs in 1979. This time it's an original song and is far more mellow.

After the excitement of "One Night In Bangkok" we get a change of tempo. This was also written by Bjorn and Benny from Abba together with Tim Rice and is from the musical Chess. Elaine Paige last charted in 1981 with "Memory" and Barbara Dickson a year earlier with "January February".

Russ Abbot is TV stand-up comedian.

ZZ Top are a rock group with long beards whose main aim is to be last in alphabetical order for artists. Sharp-Dressed Man is their 3rd hit.

Limit are a Dutch band and this is euro-disco.
