5 amazing Juno Awards moments from the '80s

We've been having fun over the past month dipping into the Juno Awards' video archives.

A lot of history has been packed into the Junos' 47-year celebration of Canadian music: the talent, the innovation and personalities — not to mention the hair. 

Below, five clips you need to see from the 1980s Junos vault.

1. A surprise appearance by Bob Dylan

Gordon Lightfoot was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the 1986 Juno Awards. Making an unannounced appearance, Bob Dylan introduced Lightfoot to the crowd.
