"Betty Davis Eyes".....don't remember her name

He Can't Love You- Michael Stanley Band-- ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY HUGE in Cleveland in 70's-80's- but their only hit outside of the area. Selling out Blossom Music Center (18,000+) 4 NIGHTS IN A ROW was common!!

Bette Davis Eyes- Kim Carnes

Fantasy is one of my all-time favs! It's #1 on one of my burned CD's in my car!

Here are some I came up with:

"When I'm With You"- Sheriff
"Go"- Asia
"The Doctor"- Doobie Brothers
"Crazy Crazy Nights"- Kiss
"Summer Nights"- Van Halen
"On the Dark Side," & "Tender Years"- John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band (from Eddie & the Cruisers)
"Carrie"- Europe
"Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)"- Glass Tiger (opened for Journey in '86 in Cleveland)
"Your Love"- The Outfield (I LOVE these guys!!)
"Man Against the World"- Survivor
"At This Moment"- Billy Vera & the Beaters

[Arkansas]

Hey maybe Journey should get Lemmy to sing. Look at all the fans he'd bring in.
He & RV could do some bass duets too.

The melodic rock defining artists thread got me thinking of songs from the early '80's, many by one hit wonders. Post some song titles here.

Anyone remember the song "Don't Let Him Know" by a group called Prism?

Never even thought of looking up Prism on Youtube NIG, thanks. That was cool, talk about taking ya way back.

Prism - Spaceship Superstar

Did you ever meet Doug, Deb? Very cool guy, I saw him probably a dozen times in Calgary (I'm from there originally too).

The lead singer's name escapes me right now, but she has been touring again, largely because of that song. I'd pay to hear it live...great song.
