Hooray! I asked you to share your favorite '80s love ballad and the first entry is in, direct from the UK. Thanks, Kelly! And it is 100% choice: "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon. Kelly, you could not have known this but this song was one of the very first songs on the first "Wilfair" playlist. Oh yes it was. (Is this really your karaoke song? Quality. In a word.)
But here's the sad bit: I can't seem to find a good version of the video to include with this post. Which is making me blue, because I recall some truly remarkable hair going down.
Please me know if you have a back-up ballad I can post. In the meantime, I'm feeling some Bonnie Tyler tonight, because videos don't come more dramatic. And I know this song has been mentioned by people on this blog before as something special. It is indeed.
(And this isn't a joke: I had to resist standing at my desk and singing along, hands to the air, Bonnie-style, after a single re-viewing.)
Have another '80s ballad to submit, anyone? I'll spotlight it.
Dedicated to Kelly
