The Time Machine pays a visit to 1986 this time. Paul Simon issued his Graceland effort; he later took home the Album of the Year Grammy. Things were hopping in Minneapolis: Prince had a big hit, wrote one for the Bangles, and meanwhile, his protégés Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced Janet Jackson's biggest album yet. Veteran recording artist Peter Gabriel became an instant MTV darling with his So release. Steve Earle had a huge country hit. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark issued one of the biggest songs of the 80s.
Top Gun was number one at the box office, and your sportcoat probably including shoulder pads. It's all 1986, our year on this episode of Time Machine.
"If You Leave" is a 1986 song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). It was recorded for the soundtrack to the film "Pretty in Pink" (1986), in which it is played prominently during the final scene. Along with 1980's "Enola Gay", the track has been described as OMD's signature song. "If You Leave" is the group's highest-charting single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it reached number 4 in May 1986.
