Friday’s Forgotten 45: Hall & Oates

Nina Blackwood is your host for Absolutely 80’s every Saturday night at 9 on 105.7 KOKZ! Today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 is one of the great 80’s tunes you’ll hear tomorrow night from Daryl Hall & John Oates with “Family Man”.

I was today years old when I learned the song was originally recorded by Mike Oldfield and sung by Maggie Reilly. Hall & Oates version of the song appears on their H2O album and the song went to #6 back in 1983.

These days they are busy spending their time with lawsuits over their lucrative song rights, but today’s we remember happier times, with “Family Man” by Hall & Oates, today’s Forgotten 45!
