DEF: Deniece Williams “Let’s Hear It for the Boy”

Among her nine appearances on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, Gary, Indiana-born musician Deniece Williams’ biggest hits are her two number one hits. Exactly 35 years ago, the second of that pair of hits, “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” from the 1984 film Footloose, rose to the top of the chart to begin a two-week reign. To commemorate that anniversary, “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” by Deniece Williams is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
