  1. 40 years ago this week, "If You Leave" by #OrchestralManoeuvresInTheDark entered the #Top10 at 10. It peaked at 4 on 31 May 1986. When John Hughes rewrote the ending to "Pretty in Pink", he asked the band to write a new song for it. They had to write and record this in a couple of days, and it was their biggest hit. youtube.com/watch?v=EPmTGFg06zA #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo
