Party All The Time — Eddie Murphy

I'm not sure why he ever decided to go the route of an acting career.

Best. Song. Ever.

Footloose? I'm pretty sure that was his only hit.

Kenny Loggins did that tune and he had a few more hits. "I'm all right" the theme to Caddyshack was one off the top of my head.

Here's a few:
Autograph - Turn up the radio
Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the sky
Aldo Nova - Fantasy

I'm sure you can google this and get a million of them.

I didn't look at the link either.

Timothy ! Few people remember that hit. They played in Altoona a few times. Excellent show. Amazing singer . From the Erie area I think .

I was talking to the drummer and he had blisters on his hand. He explained he had just put a roof on his dad's house the day before. He played well though !

Bill, they were from the Scranton area. They played at my high school's homecoming one year. (maybe 1970)

J. Giles Band - Centerfold.

I have been told they have additional hits but I refuse to believe it. This is the only song I ever want to hear from them.

Mmm Bop was actually by Hansen. I keep hearing people say how great they are these days out on tour.

Nelson's hit was (I Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection back in 1990. They are still making records that sell pretty well in Japan. I worked with them on a couple when I lived in Nashville. Those guys are a trip - 3rd generation show business will do that to you, I guess!

Nelson, Hanson, whatever...

Haha! I do have to say that I am quite curious about Hansen these days. Like I said, I have heard from a lot of people, mostly musicians whose judgment I trust, how good these guys are. Seems really strange, but I know a few people who have gone to see Hansen on their current tour and have nothing but great things to say about them!
