It's only taken 23 years but 80sography has finally reached the 50th episode milestone! Hurrah to all and sundry! (sorry, don't know why I typed that...)

Why not celebrate with another Anatomy of a Song episode and it's a real toe-tapper pop-pickers - the 1984 smash from Shakatak, Down on the Street.

We speak to main Shakataker, musician/songwriter Bill Sharpe about the hit and his time with the Shaks and much more besides.

Dedicated to my parents; without whom, etc, etc.
