re: Scandal - you've probably heard "Goodbye to You" before, even if you didn't realize who it was by.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 21:52 (twelve years ago) link
Two lesser known Scandal songs that are great:

Is she still married to McEnroe?
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
You're right I heard "Goodbye to you"! I checked and it only hit #65 though. There's been plenty of acts listed here who even had more than one top 10, such as Glass Tiger and Corey Hart. (x-post)
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:19 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I knew that about Glass Tiger and Corey Hart w/o even looking it up, but I was trying to be non-pedantic at the time.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
Surprised "Goodbye to You" charted that low, though. I hear it more often now than even "The Warrior".
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:24 (twelve years ago) link
Can't believe Corey Hart had nine Top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100!
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:44 (twelve years ago) link
Wow, I didn't realize it was NINE! I only remembered Sunglasses, Never Surrender and I Can't Help Falling in Love With You.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:48 (twelve years ago) link
Nine? Crikey. I only know Sunglasses and Never Surrender.

You guys don't remember "Boy in the Box"? or "I Am By Your Side"?
― ginny thomas and tonic (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 5 May 2011 02:13 (twelve years ago) link
Another Miami freestyle station favorite, but, alas, not a Top 40 hit. Neither was the sublime "Just An Illusion."

deniece williams "let's hear it for the boy"
no idea if she had more hits or not but whatevs
― j lol (surm), Thursday, 5 May 2011 02:15 (twelve years ago) link
I remember the album was called Boy in the Box, but I don't remember the song at all. Nor the other one.
I probably didn't at first, but overexposure at the time didn't help matters. Also, at the same time, I was turning my back on popular music and become a mopey gothy teenager with my mopey gothy teenager friends. Silly now, but important distinction then.

Omg Al, I do remember "I Am By Your Side"...Corey hart knowledge appears to be wedged deep into the sofa cushions of my subconscious
He had a pretty good singing voice...also v crush worthy

Sunglasses is good lolsy fun, though.
never surrender is great, sunglasses is fun for the shouty-pouty part

Listening to all this Corey Hart stuff is making me think he was kind of an autonomous type in the 80s landscape. The closest parallels would be maybe Springfield (but he was never SERIOUS) and John Waite (but his solo career between Babys and Bad English was really too brief to make a mark). Corey Hart is kind of on his own.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 5 May 2011 02:39 (twelve years ago) link
He was a total pinup boy, which is why, like Springfield, he had time getting cred. But, boy, his attempts at seriousness suuuuucked (Springfield was a better songwriter and musician).

I'm very fond of his last hit, "A Little Love." It actually rocks!
