This week in 80’s history!

Posted on August 19, 2023

It’s time to take a peak in the way back machine to see what this week looked like in the 1980’s! It was on this week in:

1986 – Bon Jovi Released Their 3rd and Most Successful Album, Slippery When Wet…the album would go onto to be certified platinum 12 times!

1987 – Dirty Dancing Premiered in Theaters, Starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. Swayze actually had to convince Grey to do the film because she disliked him so much from their time together filming Red Dawn.

1989 – Saved by the Bell Premiered on NBC, not to be confused with Good Morning Miss Bliss which premiered in 88.

1989 – Nolan Ryan Recorded His 5,000th Career Strikeout​. Ryan still holds the Major League Record for career strikeouts at 5,714.
