Why, yes, there was a movie made in the '80s about a guy who worked at a department store and fell in love with an ever-desirable mannequin. Sex & The City's Kim Cattrall played the mannequin opposite Andrew McCarthy (and even Estelle Getty made an appearance) in the movie that screams "the 1980s!". Somehow the movie found its name in the running for an Academy Award in 1988...but, let's be clear, it had nothing to do with this silly movie. The theme song to this theatrical masterpiece was Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" which scored an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.
Phil Collins, Elton John, and Gloria Estefan dominated Adult Contemporary radio back in the 1980s and '90s, yet have disappeared from modern radio. Seemingly, the only time you ever hear them is at the grocery store or your local CVS. This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.
