The classic clip of Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby playing the 1985 Grammy Awards is not just the most '80s thing ever, but - thanks to John Denver - a lesson in synth history

Synth Medley.

If you are old enough to remember the '80s, then the classic clip of Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Thomas Dolby and Howard Jones playing the Grammys in 1985 will send you right back, slap-bang back into the middle of the decade of mullets and handheld synths.
