The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Remember The 80’s

The Magic 80‘s. Like Rubik‘s Cubes and Walkmans, pop songs in the garb of orchestral ­arrangements are among the style-defining features of the 80s. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra co-invented the incomparable „Pop Goes Classic Sound“.

What A Feeling“, Oscar-, Golden Globe- and Grammy-winning from „Flashdance.“ „Africa,“ worldwide hit in 1983, sold six million copies. „(I‘ve Had) The Time Of My Life,“ Oscar-, Golden Globe- and Grammy-winning from „Dirty Dancing.“ „I Just Called To Say I Love You,“ No. 1 hit in 24 countries in 1984. „Take My Breath Away“ from „Top Gun,“ No. 1 in six countries in 1986. „Licence To Kill,“ from the 1989 James Bond film of the same name. „Up Where We Belong,“ Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning from 1983‘s „An Officer And A Gentleman. „Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now),“ worldwide hit by Phil Collins, recorded for the 1984 film of the same name.
