This Sunday morning from 8 to noon 105.7 KOKZ brings you American Top 40 the 80’s! This Sunday Casey features the top songs from April 5th, 1986 it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Robert Tepper “No Easy Way Out”.

The song appears on the Rocky IV Soundtrack, along with other hits like Survivor’s “Burning Heart” and James Brown’s “Living in America”. You remember Rocky IV, Rocky vs. Ivan Drago! Russia vs. the U.S! The Cold War! The movie went on to become the most successful sports movie of all-time, making over $300 million dollars worldwide, until toppled by The Bright Side in 2009.

As for Robert Tepper, “No Easy Way Out” was his only top 40 hit, reaching #22 on the Hot 100. Take a trip back to 1986 for today’s Forgotten 45!
