Here we go again!
Here is the link to the list I am using:

Sly Fox, at number 45:
Truly one of my all-time favorites. Turn it up!
Cyndi Lauper, at number 41:
The anthem of the Gay Pride movement, as I understand. Back when it was on MTV, I did not know that. I think she performed this at the signing ceremony of the Respect For Marriage Act, on December 13th, 2022.

Billy Ocean, at number 31:
Okay, time to get going! Gotta love that bass. Ignore the dancers in white suits, they are actors, not musicians. Ha!
Peter Gabriel, at number 23:
Back in the days of MTV, I truly enjoyed this one.
Simple Minds, at number 17:
I know all of us will die, someday. But I never want to! I want to always be, alive and kicking!
Pet Shop Boys, at number 15:
Okay, after what I just wrote, about never wanting to die, the first line of this song, is about suicide! But the song simply sounds so great, overall, I can tolerate the dark undertones.
Mr. Mister, at number 9:
This one is so uplifting! Seems to be the same message as Alive and Kicking: Charge ahead! So positive, so good to listen to.
Dionne and Friends, at number 1:
Okay, this is the low down, on this song:
en.wikipedia.org/…
"That's What Friends Are For" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager.
It was first recorded in 1982 by Rod Stewart for the soundtrack of the film Night Shift, but it is better known for the 1985 cover version by Dionne Warwick,[1] Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder. This recording, billed as being by "Dionne Warwick & Friends", was released as a charity single for AIDS research and prevention. It was a massive hit, becoming the number-one single of 1986 in the United States, and winning the Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Song of the Year. It raised more than $3 million for its cause.
This makes this song seem very important. The idea of expressing true friendship for all, makes sense, especially because, both then and now, if anyone is gay, there are those who have no desire to express any friendship for “those people.” Even when they were sick and dying. So, the rest of us need to step up, as true friends.
One last song from me:
Tina Turner just passed away, only a few days ago.
I posted this song, just last week. So, here it is again, to honor her memory.
