DEF: The Rovers “Wasn’t That a Party”
Toronto-based band The Irish Rovers are most known for their only Top 10 hit, “The Unicorn,” which reached number 7 in 1968. The band did, though, reach the Top 40 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart a second time, this time recording as just The Rovers. On this date in 1981, that second Top 40 hit, “Wasn’t That a Party,” rose to a peak position of number 37. Today, “Wasn’t That a Party” by The Rovers is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
