Some late 70s and 80s English Pop Songs that I enjoyed

From my recent Facebook posts:

Brown Girl In The Ring by Boney M (1978). This song was very popular among Bombay (Mumbai) English Pop Music listeners of the late 70s and early 80s. I have heard the audio so many times then. But I had not seen the video renditions of it. So it was pleasure to see a couple of them now:

By the rivers of Babylon, Ma Baker, Love for Sale, Daddy Cool are some of the other big hits of Boney M that I had heard many times in those days. But I think the biggest hit in my Bombay circles was Brown Girl In The Ring. The lyrics did not make such sense for us guys but nobody was bothered about that - the music and voice was great. And I think the Brown Girl bit appealed to us brown skin guys :-).

Whitney Houston's I wanna dance with somebody (1987)

I think I saw this first on MTV while I was in the USA around the time of its release. It was quite a hit then. She was competing with the likes of Madonna and Michael Jackson.
