DEF: Grateful Dead “Touch of Grey”
San Francisco-based band Grateful Dead didn’t particularly build its following as a pop music act, but they did hit the Top 40 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart once, and that one hit reached the Top 10. On this date in 1987, that song — “Touch of Grey” — climbed to a peak position of number 9. To commemorate that anniversary, “Touch of Grey” by Grateful Dead is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
