(Finished June 20th, 2020) The Best Forgotten 80's Songs, Part 5: Songs 69-85

Hello,

I was just randomly watching videos on YouTube when I had the idea for this blog. I picked the most obscure 80s songs that are still great songs. I used a lot of YouTube videos and various blogs to come up with these blogs as well as my brain that retains way too many 80s songs.

Some of the various songs the above mentioned videos and websites suggested include The Kinks' "Come Dancing", Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby",  Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out", Nu Shooz's "I Can't Wait", Gregory Abbott's "Shake You Down" and 'Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry". I've had those 6 songs on my blog so many times that none of them will be included here. They'll not be on these blogs.

I've published blogs like this previously, I'm hoping that many of these songs are different forgotten songs. Since I grew up in the 80s and am so familiar with so many songs from them, it's hard for me to know what's obscure and what isn't.

This and "Sign Your Name" were his two big hits and then he was hardly heard from again.
