Saturday night from 9 to midnight we turn 105.7 KOKZ over to MTV VJ Nina Blackwood for three hours of totally awesome tunes on Absolutely 80’s! It’s where I found the Friday Forgotten 45 from George Michael and “Monkey”.
One of the biggest stars of the decade “Monkey” became George’s 6th straight #1 song, including the 4th from his monster album “Faith”. He joined Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston as artists in 1987-88 who had at least 4 consecutive #1 songs.
The single version was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and the dance choreography was done by Paula Abdul.
Check out the video to “Monkey” by George Michael, today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45!
