This Sunday from 8am until noon join 105.7 KOKZ for American Top 40 the 80’s with Casey Kasem! This Sunday he’ll count down the top songs from September 8th, 1984, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Lionel Richie with “Stuck on You”.
Of course the former front man of the Commodores in the 70’s was used to chart success, but his solo career really established Lionel as one of the top music stars in the world. His first three solo albums were all certified multi-platinum and the biggest of them all was his 1983 album “Can’t Slow Down”. It sold over 20 million copies worldwide, won a Grammy for Album of the Year and delivered 5 huge hits including the #1 songs “All Night Long” and “Hello”.
“Stuck on You” was the 4th single release from the album and it went to #3 on the pop charts and #24 on the country chart! I found a live performance of the song from 2006 with Lionel singing “Stuck On You”. The Forgotten 45 is sponsored by Honey Creek Furniture in Manchester.
