Our next story takes us back to 1985.
David Lange was the Prime Minister, TV One hosted Telethon, Keri Hulme won the Booker Prize for The Bone People - and 'For Today' from the Netherworld Dancing Toys was topping the charts.
It also featured a little known New Zealand songstress at the time, called Annie Crummer, and was to become one of our great Kiwi anthems.
Nick Sampson co-wrote 'For Today' - which turns 40 this year!
Nick and his band, The Black Flames, will play Galatos in Auckland on Friday 28 February.
He joins Mark Leishman.
