I see 2 covers in your chart, Respect Yourself was obviously a cover version, the Kane Gang had charted with it just 3 years previously even if you didn't know the Staple Singers original. Less known as a cover version was Eric Clapton which was originally a Fleetwood Mac song. Alison Moyet's song isn't in your chart but was also lesser known as a cover version of Floy Joy. Huey Lewis's hit was written by Bruce Hornsby but don't think he ever recorded it. I don't know if Cyndi Lauper is a Marvin Gaye cover or her own song of the same title. <iframe width="18.720000000000027" height="5.159999999999997" style="position: absolute; width: 18.720000000000027px; height: 5.159999999999997px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT1_68106036" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="18.720000000000027" height="5.159999999999997" style="position: absolute; width: 18.72px; height: 5.16px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 881px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT1_18647974" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="18.720000000000027" height="5.159999999999997" style="position: absolute; width: 18.72px; height: 5.16px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 196px;" id="MoatPxIOPT1_3578204" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="18.720000000000027" height="5.159999999999997" style="position: absolute; width: 18.72px; height: 5.16px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 881px; top: 196px;" id="MoatPxIOPT1_24468458" scrolling="no"></iframe> Bruce Hornsby recorded it later. I also have Cyndi Lauper and Eddie Money but the latter is a very obscure cover but cover versions arent quite as bad as all those 60s re-issues especially if they do something different with them like Eric Clapton.

Looking back, there were a lot of old songs in the chart back then - but it doesn't bother me as it introduced me to some real classics.
It would be the equivalent of having 90s songs in today's chart - which I wouldn't mind either!

I didn't know Eddie Money was a cover, it's obviously not the same as the New Seekers hit from 1977.
I just looked up and the original was some obscure band who recorded it first in 1984.

10th March 1987
It's yet another oldie on top as they take turns, The Beatles replacing T.Rex with their 1967 classic double A that last topped my charts in 1976. Cyndi lauper joins the oldies vibe rocketing up to 10 with her Marvin Gaye cover, making only 3 of the top 10 actually being released on single in 1987 as new songs. Talking of oldies, Boy George shoots into the 20 with his Ken Boothe cover of his reggae cover of the Bread ballad. The Beastie Boys launch nicely into my top 20. Now I may be wrong, and stand to be corrected (if I spot one one day) but this was their one and only top 20 track I think, for me. Mel & Kim get a respectable leap into the 30, Prince enters at 26 with one of his very greatest tracks, Sign O' The Times - though the line about the rocketship exploding as if the Challenger disaster was in some way responsible for the world's ills still bugs me.
Bruce Willis also gets a respect-able top 40 climb, as his TV show theme enters at 38 for Al Jarreau - far and away the best hour-long US TV show of the time (hard to call it drama, except during that turgid 3rd season) - and The Rainmakers Let My People Go Go at 31. Alison Moyet enters at 34 with one she didn't bother doing when I saw her the other week, a goodie regardless, Iggy Pop shades himself lower down the chart, Nick Kamen jumps on the classic soul cover bandwagon (Four Tops), Berlin get a 3rd hit and a 3rd in the chart simultaneously. That won't last, mark my words! Frankie taper out watching wildlife, Billy Idol starts a good year for him with a good single 9 years on from Generation X, Tina Turner shoves out another album track single, and Genesis do the same.
