Released in 1989, this classic hit by Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm is a song near and dear to my heart. I am a massive fan of Foreigner and Lou Gramm. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame finally got it right this year and corrected a HUGE oversight for many years. Congratulations to Lou and the band.
Lou had a successful solo career that included two major hits. Today's Song of the Day is 1989's "Just Between You and Me." It is an emotional song about relationships and the ups and downs of being in one. Lou Gramm is one of the most powerful voices in Rock history, and this track demonstrates that. The song hit #6 on the Hot 100 in 1989.
The song holds a soft spot in my heart. It was playing on the radio when I had my first kiss. The girl I had a major crush on had just gone on a date to see Cats. It was a snowy night; we were in the back seat as a friend was driving, and his date was in the front seat. We were laughing, having a good time, and going to a place to get adult drinks (even though we should not have), and she looked at me, and BAM!
A memorable moment, a memorable song!
I LOVE MUSIC!
Come enjoy the music with me at The Variety Station.
