40 years ago this week, "Forever Young" by #Alphaville entered the #Top100 at 95. It peaked at 93 on 30 Mar 1985, but actually climbed higher as a re-release and peaked at 65 on 24 Dec 1988. There have been several remixes and cover versions over the years, and I quite like the one by #YouthGroup that was featured in "The O.C.". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNjQXmoxiQ8 #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo
