大象传媒 Radio 2's Sara Cox takes us down the 80s videos time tunnel and talks to singer Marc Almond.
Marc takes us back to the creation of his band Soft Cell with friend David Ball and the journey taking their music from Leeds to London's Soho and on to New York, including Studio 54. He talks candidly about the effect of his 1981 Top of the Pops debut and the later traumatic time of his motorbike crash.
Sara plays Soft Cell's debut on Top of the Pops, and Marc chooses one of his favourite songs from the 80s: Christine by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Plus Heaven 17's Temptation, Def Leppard's Animal, Diana Ross's Chain Reaction and more, and a megamix of the top 5 from this week in 1985, including the number one from Jennifer Rush with The Power of Love.
