Our weekly time travel took us back to 1985 on Saturday Morning Flashback.
A time when the music world's biggest names showed their charitable side. The 'We Are the World' single, Live Aid and Farm Aid all raised awareness and money for a number of worthy causes. The year featured the biggest albums for Tears for Fears, Dire Straits and Talking Heads. The solo debut from Sting and the return of John Fogerty. All of it good, making for a rich musical year.
Here in Chicago, our main focus was 1985 Chicago Bears and their 15-1 Super Bowl winning season. The best football team of all time, my friends
