1985: The Hits

Arts, Music, Performing Arts, Soundtrack, TV & Film

This week, the Strictly Soundtracks team turns back the clock to 1985 and explores the films and soundtracks that are turning 40 this year. It’s the year that gave movie lovers such classics as Beverly Hills Cop, Back to the Future, The Color Purple and The Breakfast Club.

In looking back on 1985, we also have the chance to celebrate the 40th birthday of our beloved Strictly Soundtracks co-host, Glenn Charlie Dunks. With a playlist that includes Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle, the Thompson Twins, Duran Duran and… Barry Manilow (??), it’s time to don the headbands, squeeze into the spandex and gyrate like Jamie Lee Curtis in 1985’s less-than Perfect.
