Let It All Blow
Same for me. This must be our crossover point.
This song peaked at #19........ three years earlier. I wonder why it's back on the chart?

"In The Air Tonight" charted again due to its use on Miami Vice.This song peaked at #19........ three years earlier. I wonder why it's back on the chart?
Yep. I didn't see this entry before replying. I added a Miami Vice themed video to the playlist too."Miami Vice", maybe? Or is '84 too early for that?

The song sounded familiar.I didn’t know that song, but it’s a lot of fun.
The video………well…….
This week's mild surprises.Will never get into the top 40

Got My Mind Set On You (originally I've Got My Mind Set On You) was first recorded by James Ray. He released ten singles between 1959 and 1964 but had only two hits, both in 1962: If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody reached #22 in January and Itty Bitty Pieces reached #41 in May. He released I've Got My Mind Set On You in December but it failed to chart. All three songs were written by Rudy Cllark, who also wrote the Olympics' Good Lovin' – later a number one hit for the Young Rascals – and Betty Everett's It's In His Kiss. Ray died of a drug overdose in February 1965. He was only 24. Here is the original version of I've Got My Mind Set On You featuring the Hutch Davie Chorus:
What he said.17.
Not too bad for me.
