Nina Blackwood is your host for three hours of Absolutely 80’s every Saturday night from 9 to midnight on 105.7 KOKZ. And today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 is a song you can hear on the show this weekend, from Foreigner it’s “Break It Up”.

Foreigner 4 was released in the Summer of 1981, it was the 4th album by the band and also the first album after going from 6 members to 4. It went on to become the best selling album for the new Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members, selling over 6 million copies and delivering hits like “Urgent”, “Waiting for a Girl Like You”, “Jukebox Hero”, and “Break It Up” that went to #26 on the charts.

Produced by Robert “Mutt” Lange who is known for his work with Def Leppard and Shania Twain, Foreigner 4 spent 10 weeks as the #1 album in the nation.

Take a trip back to the early 80’s for classic Foreigner with “Break It Up” today’s Forgotten 45.
