R.I.P. Peter Burns (1959 - 2016)

Peter “Pete” Burns of Dead Or Alive

2016 says goodbye to another unique and talented soul.  This year is truly a sad one for music. We didn’t think it could get worse. Pete Burns was so creative and his music was so much fun to listen and dance to.  I long for those club days when the the deejay would play a marathon of Dead Or Alive songs!

80s Trivia:  Did you know up until the Spice Girls, Bananarama was the most successful girl band in the US and the UK?  Even today, Bananarama are not far behind, and still hold the Guinness World Record with the most music chart entries by an all-female group!
