I found lots of great 80’s Christmas songs for my last show of 2014. Not all were festive, as some were 80’s Christmas #1 singles.
OK, the Slade song was originally from 1973, but was back in the charts in 1983 at #20. And I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday was another song recorded in the 70’s – BUT, the Wizzard tune was back in the UK charts in 1981 AND 1984 – so I think it’s OK to play it on GR80’s at Christmas don’t you?!
