The first CD kicks off with Queen’s classic ‘Radio Gaga’ and features Sade’s ‘Smooth Operator’ from their multi-platinum ‘Diamond Life’ album, and Tina Turner’s ‘Private Dancer’, the title track from her album which spent a phenomenal 150 weeks in the UK album chart!

The second CD includes floor-fillers from The Pointer Sisters, and The Dazz Band, alongside Freddie Mercury’s ‘Love Kills’, and synth-pop hits from Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw and Tears For Fears, together with soul infused ballads from Kool & The Gang and Jeffrey Osborne.

We round off the album with the timeless ‘The Power Of Love’ from Frankie Goes To Hollywood which gave the band their hat-trick of #1’s in 1984.
