Today’s video of the day is Frankie Goes To Hollywood – "The Power Of Love" (Steve Franklin Remix) released in 2020.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood released the Steve Franklin Remix of “The Power of Love” on May 15, 2020. This version breathes new life into the classic ballad. It also features scenes from Stranger Things Season One, enhancing its nostalgic pull. Originally released in 1984, “The Power of Love” appeared on the band’s debut album, Welcome to the Pleasuredome. The song stood out from the band’s more aggressive singles. Unlike “Relax” and “Two Tribes,” this track showed their softer, emotional side. It became one of their biggest hits and remains iconic today.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood formed in Liverpool in 1980. The band included Holly Johnson, Paul Rutherford, Peter Gill, Mark O’Toole, and Brian Nash. They broke through in 1983 with “Relax,” followed by a series of chart-topping hits. Their debut album Welcome to the Pleasuredome was a commercial success, combining synth-pop, rock, and social commentary. Their second and final album, Liverpool, released in 1986, marked a stylistic shift. It leaned toward rock and lacked the provocative energy of their debut. While Liverpool had strong moments, it didn’t match the impact of Welcome to the Pleasuredome.
The Steve Franklin Remix reintroduces “The Power of Love” to a new generation. It blends modern production with 1980s emotion. The inclusion of Stranger Things clips creates a powerful visual narrative. This pairing connects past and present in a way fans of both eras can enjoy. Though the band disbanded in 1987, their influence continues. Remixes like this one keep their legacy alive. “The Power of Love” remains one of the most beloved songs from the 1980s. With this remix, it continues to reach new audiences while honoring its roots.
