This Is What Synth Pop Looked Like 30 Years Ago – The Sparks’ ‘Number 1 Song in Heaven’

From 1979, Sparks’ Number 1 Song in Heaven.

This is what synth pop looked like 30 years ago!

via itsfullofstarseileenh28:

Not one, not two, but three, count ’em, THREE Ron Maels. Three very pretty Ron Maels.

If that ain’t heaven, I don’t know what is.

The 3 pretty Rons make up for the bad hair day (month? year? decade?) that Russell was having.

Update: Well well well. That Group is no longer interested in taking this video down. You can watch it as much as you want. But you still should buy the record “No. 1 in Heaven”, it’s very good.

  1. A fantastic song underrated at the time and even today. I’d love to do a remake one day. Synths’ and sequencing work was by Giorgio Moroder. At the time and even now people are more interested in watching the weird guy on the synths with the “Hitl**” moustache and the stare (Ron Mael) and not watching the good looking guy singing. Its a great video for the time and I love the way Ron lets off a grin and a cough towards the end….
