Every Sunday morning at 8 105.7 KOKZ brings you American Top 40 the 80’s! This weekend Casey Kasem features the top songs as they were on August 17th, 1985. One of the songs you’ll hear on the show is today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, from Howard Jones with “Life in One Day”.

The English singer known for his heavy synth sound first charted in 1983 with “New Song” and had 9 Top 40 songs in the U.S. in the 80’s. His most successful album was the platinum selling “Dream Into Action” in ’85 which delivered his biggest hits, “No One Is to Blame”, and “Things Can Only Get Better”. “Life In One Day” also appeared on the project and reached #19 on the charts.

With full 80’s mullet in all of it’s glory, check out the very creative video of “Life In One Day” by Howard Jones, today’s Forgotten 45!
