STEFAN DENNIS - DONT IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back..... I know him as Paul Robinson from the TV soap 'Neighbours'.

To everyone else he is 'Stefan Dennis', actor and....Singer.
He had a small hit with this little ditty called 'Don't it make you feel good' which made it to No 16 in the U.K music charts back in 1989.

Is it me or does Stefan look a little like 'The Hoff' (David Hasselhoff).... Sure looks cool in the leather, Dude...

Judging from the comment to this video, punters either love the song or hated it... You be the judge.

Me = I Love it :)

CARLY SIMON - WHY (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back..... Its funny where you hear certain songs.
This song I heard today at my local Target Store at Winmalee, NSW over the loud speakers...
I recognised the tune but it belonged to another song.... A late 80s track by the band "A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum" (Why Remix)....
I didn't know about the Carly Simon song but I now know where the 'Why Remix' came from...

Now to the feature song.....
This 1982 song from U.S singer / songwriter 'Carly Simon - Why' was from the movie soundtrack 'Soup for One' and made it to top 10 in the U.K music charts....

I love the opening lyrics -  La di-da, di-da, La di-da, di-da... even I can sing that, so good... also how much fun does the video look, everyone was getting into it, even the waiter.    Enjoy

INXS - NEVER TEAR US APART (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back..... From the 1987 album 'Kick', this song helped launch 'INXS' into world wide fame, even known that it was their 6th studio album.

'Never Tear us Apart' was released a year later in 1988 and was a instant hit, sexy vocals from Michael Hutchence, Sweeping synths and a music video filmed in Prague... Stunning

This song made it to No 24 in the U.K music charts, No14 in Australia and No7 In the U.S...
But
It was to have a sad meaning to INXS fans, After the death of Michael Hutchence in 1997, 'Never tear us Apart' was played as the coffin was lead out of St Andrews Cathedral in Sydney, NSW....

To some INXS fans, 'Never Tear us Apart' is now known as "Hutchence's anthem"....
A Chilling reminder to how fragile we really are and how quickly it can be taken away in a flash...
