Top 8 '80s Songs That Address a Person by Name in the Title

6. Steve Perry - "Oh Sherrie"

Speaking of grandiose and over the top, Journey frontman Steve Perry showed here that he could wear his heart on his sleeve just as well flying solo as with a full-tilt arena rock band. Taking a break from his multi-platinum gig, Perry scored two major hits with this No. 3 pop smash and "Foolish Heart," both from his 1984 solo outing, Street Talk. Both hits pack in the drama, but this ballad, written for his girlfriend at the time, announces its presence with authority through an a cappella opening in which Perry shouts, quite stylishly, with the aid of echo effect, "Shoulda been gone!" The music that follows doesn't differ markedly from his work with Journey, but it does confirm the singer's massive '80s chart relevance.
