On this fine Friday afternoon, today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 was on the charts February 27th, 1988. From Richard Marx it’s “Endless Summer Nights”.

In May of ’87 he released his self-titled debut album and it was a huge success. Selling over 3 million copies and delivering 4 straight Top 3 songs in “Don’t Mean Nothing”, “Should’ve Known Better”, “Hold On to the Nights”, and “Endless Summer Nights” a tune that peaked at #2, stopped from the #1 spot by Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror”.

He’ll be performing at the Iowa State Fair on August 14th with Rod Stewart. It’s Richard Marx with “Endless Summer Nights”. 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.
