Throwback Thursday Forgotten 45: David Lee Roth

By Jeff Winfield May 9, 2024 | 3:43 PM

105.7 KOKZ is your home for classic American Top 40 shows every weekend!  This Sunday morning at 8, Casey Kasem features the top songs from May 11th, 1985, and today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 is one of the songs you’ll hear on the show, from David Lee Roth “Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody”.

The on-again, off-again former lead singer of Van Halen, David Lee Roth was also known for his wild, entertaining stage antics and the emergence of MTV worked perfectly with Diamond Dave’s personality.  In early 1985 he recorded “Crazy From the Heat”, a 4 song EP that included “California Girls” a #3 hit and “Just a Gigolo” which reached #12 on the Hot 100.

A little bit of goofiness from David Lee Roth, “Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody” today’s Forgotten 45!
