Theme: 1986
The seventh most popular song of 1986 for some god-forsaken reason. Beverly Hills Cop, Raw, Delirious, 48. hours, and Trading Places were behind him. He was at a career high and it was time to do what everyone was clamoring for - cut an album with Rick James. He was rewarded with the rapid tanking of his career in just 3 years. Indeed the only worthwhile thing he has done since is "Coming to America." Unless you count The Nutty Professor or The Klumps, and I don't.
