https://musician.social/@top40ye...40 years ago this week, "Neutron Dance" by #ThePointerSisters entered the #Top10 at 10. It peaked at 6 on 16 Feb 1985. This video makes me want to rewatch "Beverly Hills Cop" more than last year's "Axel F" did. I guess Bronson Pinchot was free, since he hadn't started "Perfect Strangers" yet, but I was surprised to see Gary Burghoff. I guess he was looking for work after "W*A*L*T*E*R" didn't sell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-jdhorGtQI #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo
