(Finished March 29th, 2021) Part 1 of The Best 80s Ballads: Songs 1-17

Hello,

I updated a couple of the video links and the rest of the blog on September 4th, 2022.

"Cobra Kai" Season 3, episode 10 when Ali (the still beautiful Elisabeth Shue), Daniel and Johnny all get together and I had a complete surge of 80s nostalgia. Then Journey's classic "Faithfully" started playing and the feels took over. Here are a few of the likely hundreds of great 80s ballad. Long live the pop culture of the 80s.

What a great song! 1) Journey "Faithfully":

2) Berlin "Take My Breath Away":

3)  Laura Branigan "Power of Love":

4) Peter Gabriel "In Your Eyes":

5) Whitney Houston "Greatest Love of All":

6) Whitney Houston "All At Once":

7) Whitney Houston "Didn't We Almost Have It All":

8) Whitney Houston "One Moment In Time":

Bonus non-80s video from the amazing Whitney "I Have Nothing":

All of these ballads are great, but this song is pure pop protection. 9) Roxette "It Must Have Been Love":

10) George Michael "Careless Whisper":

11) Belinda Carlisle "Circle In The Sand":

12) Will To Power "Baby I Love Your Way":

13) Patrick Swayze featuring Wendy Fraser "She's Like The Wind":

14) Danny Wilson "Mary's Prayer":

15) Stevie B "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)":

This is such a lovely melody and such a beautiful song. 16) David Foster "Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire":

17) Debarge "Who's Holding Donna Now":
