Music had a strong impact on everyone, as did the artists who sang the tunes. What we knew of those artists, though, was limited to what we saw on music videos (which, of course, were relatively new inventions in themselves). MTV was responsible for feeding the frenzy and keeping people hungry for more. Of course, that decade is long gone, but its memories and music live on for millions who consider themselves 80s devotees.
