As we wrap up 2022, a reminder that 105.7 brings you a bonus AT40 this Sunday from noon to 4 as Casey Kasem features part 1 of the top 100 songs of 1986. And on that show is today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Billy Ocean “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going”.

The song was used for the Michael Douglas film “Jewel of the Nile” and became Billy’s only #1 song in the UK. In the U.S. the song made it all the way to #2, blocked from the top spot by Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know”.

Take a trip back to ’86 for Billy Ocean with today’s Forgotten 45!
