I remember' Yo, little brother', from when it got airplay on WJPC, in Chicago.

I think, Love In A Vacuum by Til Tuesday should have been huge here in the UK and the US, I was gobsmacked for find out it didn't even make the US hot 100.

+1 for Robin George - sux when your label goes bankrupt and can't promote your talent...
+2 Bruce Cockburn - If I Had a Rocket Launcher, some son-of-a-b1tch would die....great line...
+3 King - Love and Pride!

Do you remember this band or group from France: "Century" their biggest hit was "Lover Why" ????
For me Lover why by Century is one of the songs "that should have been, a bigger hit"
I do remember back in 1985... It was a great hit all over the world but US... :)

Kayleigh is a great song, Imagination and Love and Pride were good also. Owned all three cassettes at one time.

Nothing like poker and classic tunes.

AMEN@Sun City not getting enough props (then and now). That song was by far the most powerful of all the songs written to support a cause.

It barely received airplay back in 1985 and has not been mentioned at all when there was talk about the 25th anniversary of "USA for Africa".

@Lennon4life1968 Have you heard the Specials Free Nelson Mandela? That one really was powerful too.

I did hear that one a lot when that came out. There was a video channel called Odyssey that was played on a local broadcast channel. They would play this song quite a bit.
