DEF: Berlin “Take My Breath Away”

Los Angeles-based band Berlin appeared on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart seven times, all between 1983 and 1987, with two of those songs reaching the Top 40. By far, the band’s greatest success came with their contribution to the 1986 film Top Gun, “Take My Breath Away,” their only Top 20 hit, which exactly 30 years ago became their only number one hit when it rose to the top of the chart for a one-week stay. To commemorate that anniversary, “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
