THE 200 GREATEST SONGS
In 1980, TV audiences tuned in for the answer to the
question who shot J.R. on “Dallas”; Moscow hosted the Summer Olympic Games
which were boycotted by many nations; war broke out between Iran and Iraq;
Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States and the world mourned
after John Lennon was assassinated outside his Dakota apartment in New York
City.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
Queen

Queen bassist John Deacon came up with the bass line for “Another
One Bites The Dust” after inspiration from Chic’s “Good Times”. Initially,
the band had not identified the song as a possible single. Michael Jackson
persuaded Queen to release it. He was proven right: not only did the disc top
the American Hot 100 and peak at #7 in the UK, but Billboard listed it at #2 on both
the US Soul and Disco charts.
