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 August 24th, 1985, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Corey Hart with “Never Surrender”.
Born in Montreal, Corey Hart is a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canada Walk of Fame. He recorded 30 top 40 hits in his native country, and 9 in the United States, the biggest hits being his first top ten “Sunglasses At Night” in ’84 and in the following year he scored his biggest American chart tune when “Never Surrender” reached #3.
A little known fact, Steven Spielberg sent a copy of the Back To the Future script to Corey with an invite to do a screen test for the role of Marty McFly. He passed to focus on his music and the job went to fellow Canadian Michael J. Fox. What might have been!
On the charts the Summer of ’85 it’s Corey Hart with “Never Surrender” it’s today’s Forgotten 45.
