https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Glamorous_Life

"The Glamorous Life" is a song written by Prince, recorded by singer/percussionist Sheila E. and produced by both. The song has lyrics which reflect a cynicism for the decadence and materialism of the song's protagonist, referred to in the third person, who "wants to lead a glamorous life", although she is aware that "without love, it ain't much".

"Oh Sheila" is a 1985 single by Ready for the World. The song went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, the Hot Black Singles and the Hot Dance Club Play charts.^[1] It was the first of two chart toppers for the band on the Billboard R&B chart, preceding their 1986 number-one R&B hit, "Love You Down".

The song is commonly misattributed to Prince, due to similarity to his vocal and musical style, as well as the belief that the song's lyrics allude to frequent Prince collaborator Sheila E.^[2][3] Ready for the World's Melvin Riley denied any connection with the two artists, stating that the subject of the song was a fictional character. However, the song's backbeat was inspired by the Prince song "Lady Cab Driver."

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_Day_in_Paradise

"Another Day in Paradise" es una canción de Phil Collins lanzada como el primer sencillo de su álbum ...But Seriously (1989). Al igual que la canción de Genesis "Man On The Corner", "Another Day in Paradise" fue escrita para resaltar el problema de las personas sin hogar,¹ por lo tanto, marcó un salto significativo de la música dance-pop de su álbum anterior, No Jacket Required (1985). La canción tuvo mucho éxito alrededor del mundo y se convirtió en la más exitosa de Phil Collins. En 1991, le valió a él y al productor Hugh Padgham el Premio Grammy a la Grabación del año. La canción también ganó el premio a la Mejor Canción Británica en los Brit Awards de 1990.

La versión de Collins está ubicada en el puesto número 86 en el ránking de las mejores canciones de todos los tiempos elaborado por Billboard.²

"Baby Love" is a 1986 crossover hit single by Brooklyn-born singer Regina. The single hit number one on the dance charts for two weeks in mid-1986.^[1] The single crossed over to the pop singles chart, where it peaked at #10 on Billboard's Hot 100, and at #30 on the Billboard Soul Singles chart. "Baby Love" would be her only single to chart on both the Pop and Soul Singles charts,^[2] but several follow up singles charted on the dance chart.

The song was written by Stephen Bray, Regina Richards & Mary Kessler. Bray had written several hits for Madonna. It was intended for Madonna, with Regina recording the song herself when Madonna declined. With Bray's production, it sounded similar to Madonna's own recordings and was sometimes mistaken for one.^[3]

The extended album version of the song (6 minutes 57 seconds), which appeared on their album Level Headed, incorporates strings and has some disco elements.

Their first release on the Polydor label after their departure from RCA, it was also their last Top 10 hit, reaching #4 in New Zealand, #6 in Switzerland, #8 in Belgium, Canada and the United States, #9 in United Kingdomand #10 in West Germany.

Later that year it was honoured with a Song of the Year nomination at the Ivor Novello Awards, although beaten by "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. The song is frequently included on greatest hits compilations, usually in its edited single version.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abracadabra_(Steve_Miller_Band_song)

"Abracadabra" is a song by American rock group Steve Miller Band, written by Steve Miller. The song was released as the first single from the 1982 album of the same name the same year (see 1982 in music). "Abracadabra" is listed at #70 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of all time.^[3] The song is said to have been inspired by the American singer Diana Ross. Miller met her when they each performed on the same episode of the pop music TV show Hullabaloo in the 1960s.^[4]

 

Speaking on The Howard Stern Show in June 2016, Miller said, at first his record company Capitol Records didn't see the potential hit it would become. "Capitol didn't believe in it and didn't want to release it. I had a different deal withPhonogram in Europe. When it came out in Europe, I cancelled my American tour because it was Number One everywhere in the world, except the States."^{[citation needed]} After seeing its success overseas, Capitol released it in the U.S. and it also climbed to number one.

The song became a worldwide hit, charting in ten countries and topping the charts in six countries, and has become one of the band's biggest hits, along with "The Joker" and "Rock'n Me". In the U.S., the song was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100for two non-consecutive weeks. It was knocked off the top by Chicago's "Hard to Say I'm Sorry", only to return to #1 two weeks later. A similar occurrence happened in 1976, when Steve Miller Band's "Rock'n Me" knocked Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now" out of the #1 spot.

The UK single version has never yet appeared on CD. It is 3:33 and is an exclusive edit where the chorus is edited back in at 3:06 and repeats to fade. The non-UK single version of the song appears in several Steve Miller Band compilation albums such as Young Hearts as well as on the Time-Life compilation Sounds of the Eighties: 1980–1982 and on a CD of songs hand-picked by Guy Fieri titled Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: Road Songs That Rock. Capitol issued an alternative version on a promotional 12" single (Capitol Records #SPRO 9797) for radio airplay; it featured a slightly slower tempo, removal of the second verse and first chorus, and a slightly earlier fade than the LP version. A live version of the song was released on Steve Miller Band Live! in 1983.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puttin%27_On_the_Ritz

In 1982 singer Taco released a synthpop cover version of "Puttin' On the Ritz" as a single from his album After Eight, released on Polydor of Germany. The single was aided by its hugely popular music video (of which there are two versions) which includes a tap dance solo in honor of the late Fred Astaire.^{[citation needed]} The original version contains characters in blackface and has since been banned from many networks. The alternate version eliminates many shots of the blackface characters; notably two who appear during the song's "super duper" line are replaced with a photograph of Gary Cooper, however the blackface characters can still be seen in a few shots.

The single was a global hit, reaching No. 1 in Cashbox^[6] as well as No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart,^[7] making Irving Berlin, then 95, the oldest ever living songwriter to have one of his compositions enter the top ten.^[8] It was certified Goldby the RIAA for selling over one million US copies.^[9] It was Taco's only hit in the States.^[5] This version of the song was ranked No. 53 in VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s special.

The song topped the charts in Sweden and New Zealand, and it entered the Top 5 in numerous countries including Norway, Austria and Canada.^[10][11]

The Taco cover of the song was used in Baby Geniuses (1999) and The Call (2013). Alvin and the Chipmunks covered Taco's version of the song for "Don't Be a Videot", a 1984 episode of Alvin and the Chipmunks.

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan_Boy

"Tarzan Boy" es una canción de 1985 del género ítalo disco grabado por el grupo musical italiano Baltimora. Fue publicada en abril de ese año, bajo la etiqueta discográfica Columbia/EMI Records (Europa) y Manhattan Records (Estados Unidos) y compuesta por el dúo Maurizio Bassi y Naimy Hackett. Como lado B se incluyó una versión alternativa de Dj de la misma canción.

"Tarzan Boy" fue el primer single del grupo, extraído de su álbum debut “Living in the Background”, en el que figura como primera pista. Sin embargo, fue el único éxito que lograron, a nivel internacional. En Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido son considerados un “one-hit wonder” (maravilla de un éxito).

En Estados Unidos fue nuevamente bastante popular por el uso que se hizo del tema en los años noventa, a raíz de un comercial televisivo patrocinado por Listerine.¹ La canción fue regrabada y remasterizada por Baltimora en 1993, en una nueva versión para la banda sonora de la película Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III y Beverly Hills Ninja conChris Farley. Ha sido versionada por varios artistas a lo largo de los años.
