Y101 from 1983

Tomorrow is Friday Gold Rush, so let us take you back in time! Specifically to 1983!

What a feeling! 1983 has brought the world some awesome tunes like Mr Roboto and Uptown Girl. Who wouldn’t get tired of listening to Karma Chameleon? Or wouldn’t want to rock out Every Breath You Take on the karaoke?

In 1983, the radio was filled with Michael Jackson singles from Thriller released a year before. Everybody who’s anybody got the songs Billie Jean and Beat It stuck in their heads. Your neighbor would play Spandau Ballet’s Gold on repeat and high school students of 83 would fool around and sing “Don’t you want me baby, don’t you want me oh whoa ho-whoa” to the girlies with the Flashdance hairstyle.

So let’s dance and dance all night long! Whether you’re a China girl or one of the bad boys, Friday Gold Rush has got all the goods to make you go burning up! Tune in from morning til midnight this Friday and be taken back in time, where music knows no age.

Take a listen to this recording of a Y101 broadcast someone took with his radio cassette in 1983!
