Nina Blackwood is your host for Absolutely 80’s every Saturday night from 9 to midnight on 105.7 KOKZ. It’s three hours of awesome 80’s hits and one of the songs you’ll hear this weekend is today’s Forgotten 45 at :45 from Bananarama with “I Heard a Rumour”.
The British pop-group formed in 1980 and they recorded 3 top 10 hits in the U.S. “Cruel Summer” in 1983, the #1 song “Venus” in ’86, and “I Heard a Rumour” which reached #4 in 1987 from their 4th album “Wow”. The song actually did better in America than it did in England.
A British critic called the tune “a bright and breezy summer hit” and on this fine late September day “I Heard a Rumour” is our Forgotten 45, sponsored by Honey Creek Furniture in Manchester, Eastern Iowa’s fastest growing La-Z-Boy store. You’ll find them at honeycreekfurniture.com.
