Today’s Forgotten 45 @ 45!

Bon Jovi – Keep The Faith

A perfect Forgotten 45 today as we all clean up, help our neighbors, and begin to rebuild after that incredible Derecho yesterday.

Released as the lead single from the 1992 “comeback” album of the same name,”Keep The Faith” was a return to greatness, in my opinion.

I first heard it in the car, on the radio as it was being world premiered. I cranked it and immediately got goosebumps! After that, I picked up the album after it’s release and was blown away by the sound and maturity that came with the it. They had, famously, cut their hair, grown up a bit after touring the world, non-stop for almost 3 years, and had something to say about the world they saw and lived in.

The album did very well, on the backs of the singles, “Keep The Faith”, “Bed Of Roses”, “In These Arms”, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”, “I Believe” and “Dry County”. The album peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart, and the song, “Keep The Faith”, peaked at #29 on the Hot 100!
