Forgotten gems from the 80´s.

I don't know how well this one charted, but it was released as a single in 1980, and certainly qualifies as a gem. Still love it to pieces today.

 

Shona Laing - Soviet Snow

 

Santana - Hold on.

 

The Motors had a mini hit with Dancing in The Away (in an edited single). They were great and I was lucky enough to see em in a scruffy little club around 78/79. Here is the long version of that single.

THE MOTORS - Dancing The Night Away (1978 Old Grey Whistle Test UK TV Appearance) ~ HIGH QUALITY HQ ~

 

This was a top 10 hit and played to death on MTV, yet I think most think of them as a one-hit wonder thanks to (I Just) Died in Your Arms.

 

I always thought this was an 80's song, but it's actually from '78. But I think it still has that early 80's vibe so it counts.

 

This gem is from 1980

 

Ok, last one. For now.

 

Ok, one more...

 

Love this song!!

 

Great song and band, unfortunately short lived.

 

Another favorite of mine...you can hear George Michael's voice doing his part

 

Speaking of George Michael... here's an 80's song he sings on with Aretha franklin

 

Here are a couple of my favorites. Coincidentally (or not), both of these are from the "Revenge Of The Nerds" movies.



Bone Symphony - One Foot In Front Of The Other

 

AMERICA - YOU CAN DO MAGIC.
