This Sunday morning from 8 to Noon, 105.7 KOKZ brings you American Top 40 the 80’s, this weekend Casey features the top songs from November 22nd, 1986. It’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Anita Baker with “Sweet Love”.

The song was the first big hit for Anita, reaching #2 on the R&B charts, #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and #8 on the pop charts. Known for her soulful ballads, she was a major part of the “quiet storm” musical surge in the 80’s.

“Sweet Love” won a Grammy Award, one of 8 for Anita who has today’s Forgotten 45!
