One just out of the range, but still fascinates me: "Send Me An Angel" Real Life (1984) and Real Life (1989) Another one just out of range is Benny Mardones and "Into the Night" originally in 1980 and also in 1989 as was "SMAA" |

^Thanks for the post-1982 selections! On an aside, here are multiple recordings of two "D" songs (from my original research) that may be of interest: "Daddy's Home", by Jermaine Jackson (1973) and Cliff Richard (1982) -- though, IMHO, neither stands up to the original recording by Shep & the Limelites (1961); also "Don't Pull Your Love", by Hamilton Joe Frank & Reynolds (1971) and Glen Campbell (1976) as a medley that included a cover of the Casinos' 1967 hit "Then You Can Tell me Goodbye."

I'm not sure if the original appeared on AT40, but "Ooh Child" by The Five Stairsteps was on the charts - not sure if it was in the late 1960s or early 1970s. Dino remade the song in 1993, peaking at #4, and was also Dino's biggest hit in his career. A great way for Dino to close off his appearances on AT40 for sure!

"Ooh Child" was #12 on the very first episode of AT 40 the 70s. |

"Stand By Me"--Mickey Gilley (1980) and Ben E. King* (1986, re-issue of 1961 hit) John Lennon also hit the Top 40 with his version in 1975. Dang, I forgot about John Lennon's version. And I loved all of them, too!! |

"Love the One You're With" by Stephen Stills (1971) and Isley Brothers (1971) I also believe that the Isley Brothers hit the top 40 with their version of "Summer Breeze", which was also a top 40 hit for Seals & Crofts. I don't think the Isleys hit the top 40 with their version of Eric Burdon & War's "Spill The Wine". |

I remembered that the previously mentioned "Everlasting Love" reached the Top 40 in four different decades as did "The Way You Do the Things You Do". Both songs accomplished this feat in the 1960s, '70s, '80s and '90s.

In 1985, there was "Heaven" by Bryan Adams, and then 2 remakes by DJ Sammy & Yanou f/Do in 2002. The dance mix first and then the "Candlelight Mix."
Also in 2002, Kelly Osbourne had a remake of Madonna's 1986 hit, "Papa Don't Preach."
Meanwhile, on the Hot AC chart, there's Weezer's 2018 version of "Africa," first a hit for Toto in 1982-83.
