  1. Who's got the Top of the Pops suit? It's Alexander O'Neal, performing the soul classic "Criticize".

    Very unorthodox move to put the backing singer on the audience steps - it looks odd, but gives some fine camera angles.

    The song was a classic at the time, and still storms through today. That's a performance for the ages.

  2. #FunkyFriday Just heard synth legend #MartynWare telling legendary #Minneapolis funkateers #JimmyJam + #TerryLewis that #AlexanderONeal’s “Criticize” is among their finest productions. Jam + Lewis corrected him: the song was produced, co-written and mostly performed by #TheTime’s drummer #JellybeanJohnson. Respect! 🎶👍😁 #Music #Funk #RhythmAndBlues #Soul #1980s #ElectronicallyYours youtube.com/watch?v=7gK5iPbd7H

  3. CW: TOTP 1986

    You can't do a straight Elvis cover, and #FineYoungCannibals don't even go there.

    A moment of #TOTP history: it's the last time we see #DireStraits outside the breakers. What a horrible way to go out.

    Adore the staging for #Cherelle's song, the way #AlexanderONeal slinks on to put his side of the story. Love the song too.

    A promo for the BPI Awards' Best Video category. But don't vote for "Take on me", Mike Reid thinks that London-based London-filmed band A-ha somehow aren't British.
