Great But Forgotten Songs, Part One: Burning Heart

Thanks to the advent of YouTube I am able to mine their archives for a treasure trove of songs I grew up with. I was not tuned in when the Buggles killed the Radio Star but I was tuning into MTV regularly withing a couple of months of that. I watched that station for the next few years more than anything else and I have a ton of songs from those days that I loved.

Because you are so special I’m going to share them with you

First up, Vandenberg’s “Burning Heart.” You know Adrian Vandenberg’s later work as the guitarist for Whitesnake. But this was his solo band’s one hit in 1983.

Here they are 21 years later with an update of the song. It still sounds great:

Anybody remember these guys? Any suggestions for great but forgotten songs?
