Rupert Holmes:

#6 Him 1980
#32 Answering machine 1980

Escape (the Pina Colada song) was actually the last #1 song of the 70's and although it dropped out of #1 and returned to the top a few weeks later in 1980 it is considered a 70's song by chart geeks like me.

#3 Sea of love 1985
#25 Rockin' at midnight 1985

Honeymoon suite:

#34 Feel it again 1986

I'm surprised that Hey Little Girl by Icehouse didn't make it into the US charts. It was a huge hit in Europe.

Whitney Houston was untouchable in the mid-eighties. It never failed to surprise me every time she had a #1. Not that I don't like her music, but I definitely think she was overrated.
