Question
I have no idea the name of the person/band or the name of the song but it's a song from the 80's that sounds like a song from the 50's. It's not the Stray Cats or Kokomo. Please help me remember the song?
Dear Diane,
That's quite a tricky song. There are a number of 80's songs that sounded like 50's song. It might really be 50's or 60's but re-released in the 80's like STAND BY ME by BEN E. KING or LOUIS ARMSTRONG's WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD or THE CONTOURS' DO YOU LOVE ME. It could also be CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE by QUEEN or R.O.C.K. IN THE U.S.A. by JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP. Please write again if you have any lines of the song so that I can have at least an idea how the song goes.
Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise
I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.
Experience
Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
