Welcome to the Monday Forgotten 45 at 3:45! English singer Howard Jones was born on this date in 1955, so to celebrate his 71st birthday it’s his hit song “What Is Love?”.

The British synth-pop sensation emerged during the MTV era and he recorded 9 top 40 hits in the U.S. between 1983 and 1992. His biggest chart songs are the top 5 tunes “Things Can Only Get Better” and “No One is To Blame”.

“What Is Love” was the second single from his debut album “Human’s Lib”, the song was a top 10 hit in England, Ireland, and Germany and in America it became his 2nd top 40 hit reaching #33.

Happy Birthday Howard Jones! Check out his video for “What is Love”. The Forgotten 45 is sponsored by Honey Creek Furniture in Manchester, Eastern Iowa’s fastest growing La-Z-Boy store. You’ll find them at honeycreekfurniture.com.
