105.7 KOKZ brings you Classic American Top 40 every weekend. On Sunday we feature the 80’s from 8 to noon, this weekend Casey features July 23rd, 1983. It’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45, “The Salt In My Tears” by Martin Briley.

A classic break-up song, it reached #36 on the charts in ’83. Martin began writing and playing music when he was 10 in London and moved to New York later to become a studio musician for several stars like Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Olivia Newton-John and more.

He ultimately signed a solo recording contract and released 3 albums, but had only the one hit. Today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, “The Salt In My Tears”.
