Today is Back to the Future Day! October 21st, 1985 is the day Marty McFly got in the DeLorean and went back in time so for today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, we go back to 10/21/85 for a song that was on the charts that day, from ABC with “Be Near Me”.

The band out of England was formed in 1980 and during that decade ABC recorded five Top 40 hits and “Be Near Me” was the group’s first of two top ten hits, reaching #9 in ’85. Their song “When Smokey Sings” was their final hit and went top 5 in 1987.

The KOKZ DeLorean will now speed up to 88mph and take you back to today in 1985 with ABC “Be Near Me” it’s today’s Forgotten 45.
