Today is the 69th birthday of Night Ranger lead singer Jack Blades so for today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, we’ll play their first hit song “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me”.

The song was the first single from their 1982 “Dawn Patrol” album and while the song barely made the countdown at #40 on the pop charts, the song was a top 5 rock hit for the band that sold over 17 million albums overall.

Recently Jack has been dealing with health problems, but Night Ranger released this statement:

“We’ve got an update on Jack… and it’s good news!” He is now out of the hospital and feeling great. Last week he was admitted due to heart irregularities, followed by a successful procedure. We are so happy everything went well. Jack can’t wait to get back out on the road and neither can we!”

Happy Birthday Jack, here’s Night Ranger with today’s Forgotten 45!
