"60s 70s 80s" is a triple A-side single by Japanese singer Namie Amuro from her third greatest hits album, Best Fiction (2008). It was released on March 12, 2008, through Avex Trax and consists of the songs "New Look," "Rock Steady" and "What a Feeling," each sampling from a specific decade in music, hence the title.
"New Look" samples the 1964 single "Baby Love" by the Supremes; "Rock Steady" samples the 1971 single "Rock Steady" by Aretha Franklin; and "What a Feeling" samples the 1983 single "Flashdance... What a Feeling" by Irene Cara.
All three songs on "60s 70s 80s" were part of a Vidal Sassoon campaign for its line of hair care products. Patricia Field and Orlando Pita were brought on as creatives for the hair and makeup, respectively, and the music videos from "60s 70s 80s" were re-cut and aired as TV commercials.
The single solidified her comeback following the success of her eighth studio album, Play (2007). "60s 70s 80s" became her first number-one single in over nine years on the Oricon Singles Chart, and her tenth overall. Individually, "New Look" peaked at number-one on the then-newly established Billboard Japan Hot 100, while "What a Feeling" peaked at number 28.
