Duran Duran is one of those groups that pretty much sums up the 80’s for me and Rio is probably my favourite song from them. Strangely, whenever I listen to this song, I can always remember one morning when I was very little (probably 1982 or early 1983 – my parents were taking me and my sister on a day trip to London, and this song was being played on the radio in the kitchen while we were getting ready.
Funny how one song can make someone remember such a random memory from childhood.
Rio was released in the UK on 1st November 1982 and peaked at number 9 on 11th December 1982.
