Were going to a later date for today's tidbit but for a song that bears [yes I consulted the grammar police before spelling bears that way] mentioning.
1986 was a year I remember well for various reasons and today is the day that year that The Pet Shop Boys were No.1 on the US singles chart with their first US No.1 single "West End Girls". This song had to evolve a couple of years before it reached that status. Enjoy!
