I was watching Magic on Sky over the weekend, and they played “First Time” by Robin Beck. I think the song used to be a Coke advert on TV.
What a song - I hadn’t heard it for years. Really good.
Another one I like but can’t find anywhere is “You” by Ten Sharp. Love this song, but it’s not played often anywhere.
Fave all time ballads:
Beautiful Things - Rox
Never Say Goodbye - Bon Jovi
Home Again - Bryan Adams
Love Bites - Def Leppard
74-75 - Connells
