@atlanwhitsid I totally agree. From 87-88 it went all to poppy ...

Wow this takes me back.
In the 80's they were singing about Mugabe--and guess what ?
He's is still in power following in a long line of dictators--Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot,
the guy from Romania :Ceaucescu, Gaddaffi,Papa Doc, Amin etc etc
Believe there was a 12" of this knocking around. Could anybody upload it please.

Radio Africa has a really hazy, nostalgic feel to it. In sub-Saharan Africa you can smell the earth, and this song, with its pacing, horns and beat, takes me straight there. The "I'm hearing only..." refrain speaks of despair but the word "Radio" is an SOS, and despair is mixed with hope. Since 1987 not once have I heard this song on the radio: ironic, and because we live in a celebrity age, this type of music would be deemed too sad by today's material world. In fact, this song is uplifting

This song is a masterpiece. The 80s were great for pop music but only from 1980 to 1986. I first heard this song in 1987 and it stood head and shoulders above every other song when it charted.
