Part 2

The stories behind six songs from the decade. Spandau Ballet's Steve Norman remembers how the sound of their biggest hit True was influenced by its idyllic recording setting in the Bahamas. Soul II Soul's Jazzie B looks back on their sound system origins and how their biggest hit Back to Life (However Do You Want Me) blended a bass heavy street vibe with classical strings. Also appraised are Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, Simply Red's Holding Back the Years, Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax and Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me).
