"When the Rain Begins to Fall"

how could ya'll forget this joint??

In 1986, Loring scored a No. 2 Pop and No. 1 Adult Contemporary hit record in the United States with "Friends and Lovers", with Carl Anderson (also a No. 1 country hit in 1986 for Eddie Rabbitt and Juice Newton under the title "Both to Each Other"). Loring originally performed "Friends and Lovers" on Days of Our Lives more than a year before it hit the charts. Her performance of the song generated the largest mail response of any song in NBC daytime history.[citation needed] First recorded as a duet with Anderson (who appeared on Days of Our Lives to sing the song with Loring) in 1985, its release as a single was delayed for a year by legal complications.[6] Loring left Days in 1986 and made sporadic film and television appearances over the next few decades. Her main efforts were spent in theater and in her recording career (though "Friends and Lovers" was her only major hit single).

a song that MAYBE could have been done in the 70s....MAYBE but certainly no time before that.

DOOL used to play the hell out of this song on almost every other episode

Ebony & Ivory was a horrible song, though.

I don't know if it was the cocaine, the Quaaludes or a good old CIA conspiracy, but a lot of legends did unspeakably horrible things in the '80s.

George Harrison "I got My mind set on You" Stevie Wonder 'I just called to say I love you" Richard Pryor made "the Toy" Santana did "Survivor" Lionel Richie made "dancing on The ceiling". Paul McCartney and Johnny Cash covered their legacies in wet farts.

It's like anybody who was anything in the 1970s found a way to embarrass themselves in the Reagan era.

I liked that George Harrison song, & about Lionel Richie, that "Hello" music video was disturbing: a high school teacher stalking a blind girl around the high school.
