Nina Blackwood takes you back to the 80’s every Saturday night at 9 on 105.7 KOKZ with Absolutely 80’s. In addition to her Total Recall Top 5 and a few holiday tunes, here’s another song you’ll hear on the show, today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Elton John with “Nikita”.
Over 50 Top 40 songs, over 300 million albums sold, to say Elton is a legend would somehow be an understatement! “Nikita” was the lead single from his 19th album back in 1985 “Ice on Fire”, the song features George Michael on backing vocals and Nik Kershaw played guitar for the tune that reached #7 on the charts.
The video tells the story of a romance with an East German border guard played by model Anya Major and also features a red Bentley Continental Convertible that was owned by Elton from 1985 to 2000.
Take a trip back to the mid-80’s with “Nikita” today’s Forgotten 45!
