Song and video released in May 1985, a few months before Miami Vice's peak.
I didn't see its effect on fashion until spring 1986
three months pass...
Oh, you held in your hand a diamond
And left held it tight
Oh, you held in your hand our love
It fell from the right
In closing, I remind you
Don't be callous with a heart
Love is just one step behind you
You'll wait for it if you're smart

lol sorry I meant "Oh Girl."
But I've a strong memory of listening to Shadoe Stevens counting down the hits this week in December '88 just before Xmas as my parents and I wrapped presents on a Sunday night.
