Another great selection of songs this morning, including a less well known cover of an 80s song following the sad news of the death of a soul legend. Bobby Womack was just 70, and as well as a successful songwriting career he also had success as a recording artist – I played his version of Living in a Box, better known as the first hit single for the UK band of the same name that he later worked with.
Another song from the same year was the one for which I gave the following clue:
This song by an Australian band was made famous by one of the biggest box office hits of 1987.”*
*The song that was Acceptable in the 80s was Live it Up by Mental as Anything, which featured in Crocodile Dundee
