David Bowie "Let's Dance"
David Bowie scored his first truly commercial blockbuster with Let's Dance in 1983, a slick dance album co-produced by CHIC's Nile Rodgers. It was a departure from Scary Monsters for which Bowie received a bit of inside criticism; rather than revolting against 1980s dance music, he had in fact joined the scene. The title track went to #1 in the United States and United Kingdom and many now consider it a standard. The album also featured the singles "Modern Love" and "China Girl", the latter causing something of a stir due to its suggestive promotional video.

David Bowie "China Girl"
"China Girl" is a track on David Bowie's album Let's Dance. Bowie originally co-wrote the song with Iggy Pop for the latter’s 1977 album The Idiot, and decided to re-record it for his 1983 album. An edit of the 1977 version was also released as a single.
Under the auspices of Nile Rodgers, the song was given a much more commercial sheen than the sinister Iggy Pop version.
This song is probably about heroin addiction; "China white" is a street nickname for heroin, and based on the following lyrics in the song:
I could escape this feeling, with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China girl
...
I’m a mess without my, little China girl
Wake up mornings, where’s my little China girl.
The UK single release would reach #2 in the charts, also reaching #10 in America.The song would be a regular for Bowie’s live shows for the rest of the decade, and then added it again from 1999.

Bad Boys Blue "You're A Woman"
Bad Boys Blue was formed in the summer of 1984 by German producer Tony Hendrik and his lyricist wife Karin Van Harren. Hendrik was looking to create an alternative to the hugely successful German group Modern Talking. The original trio comprised of American Andrew Thomas, British lead singer John Edward McInerney, and Jamaican Trevor Taylor. The debut single L.O.V.E In My Car failed to make an impression in the pop charts but the follow-up You're A Woman was a massive success, reaching the top 10 in many European countries.
Trevor Taylor provided the lead vocal for most of the group's early hit singles including You're A Woman and Pretty Young Girl. The 1987 single Come Back And Stay was the first to feature John McInerney on lead vocal. John McInerney went on to perform lead vocal on the vast majority of Bad Boys Blue's output.
