We took the weekly trek back in time to revisit music and memories from 1986 this week on Saturday Morning Flashback.
January began with the Bears Super Bowl triumph followed a few days later by the tragedy of the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion. We celebrated Martin Luther Jr. Day as a national holiday for the first time. And when it came to firsts, we were introduced to debut albums from Lyle Lovett, The Bodeans, Bruce Hornsby & the Range and The Smithereens.
