Burning Heart, The search is over, Is this love, l can't hold Back,The moment of truth,Man against the world, Desperate Dreams and so many more . He is on my playlist.

Thank you Stephen, you just went to the top of my favorites list 😁👌 and have a great Friday.... 👍 If you ever have an idea for a video, please let me know, as I produce a lot of viewer requested videos.
Jani Lane was a great guy. Very down to earth. I was so sad when I heard he passed. I got to talk with him after a show and he was awesome. Very kind guy. May he RIP.
80s Musicians - Rockstars & Singers, you may not Know Have Died.... The 80s era was an unforgettable time in the music industry, filled with iconic and legendary artists who left indelible imprints in the heart of music lovers. However, some of these remarkable 80s musicians faded from limelight and public consciousness, leading many to be oblivious about their demise. Let's take a walk down memory lane to remember some of these 80s musicians you didn't know had died. One of these forgotten 80s musicians is Benjamin Orr, the co-founder and bassist for the rock band 'The Cars'. Known for his distinctive vocals on hits like "Just What I Needed" and "Drive", Orr passed away in 2000 from pancreatic cancer. His death came as a shock to many, and he left behind a legacy of timeless tunes that continue to resonate with fans today. Another forgotten musician from the 80s era is Laura Branigan, known for her powerful four-octave voice and hits like "Gloria" and "Self Control". Branigan passed away unexpectedly in her sleep from an undiagnosed ventricular brain aneurysm in 2004. Despite her untimely demise, she remains an influential figure in pop music, with her songs still popular on retro music channels and playlists. Andy Gibb was another prominent figure in the 80s music scene that many may not realize has passed on. A solo artist and younger brother to the Bee Gees, Gibb was known for his soft rock hits like "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" and "Shadow Dancing". Tragically, he died at a young age of 30 in 1988 due to myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle caused by years of substance abuse. The world also bid farewell to Minnie Riperton, best known for her 1975 single "Lovin' You". Though her biggest hit came in the mid-70s, she remained active in the music scene throughout the early 80s. Sadly, Riperton lost her battle with breast cancer in 1979 at the tender age of 31. and we remember Michael Hutchence, lead singer of the Australian rock band INXS. Known for hits like "Need you Tonight" and "Never Tear us Apart", Hutchence was a defining figure in the 80s music landscape. He was found dead in his hotel room in 1997. These forgotten 80s musicians, and many others, may have faded from the limelight but their contributions to the world of music remain significant. Their lives and careers serve as reminders of the fleeting nature of fame and the enduring power of their artistry. As we nostalgically revisit the melodies they created, we pay tribute to their talents and remember them for the joy they brought into our lives through their music. Now onto the video to see many more of our favorite 80s musicians who may not no have died.
Too many have died. Jani lane. Definitely Laura all of them were so precious children of God and will never be forgotten Kevin I knew and it was so devastating robwrt palmer gosh all these people were so talented I pray for all those who love them. Cause while we may love a rainy night these are all so sad how we use abuse and forget them. Marie is and will always be unique. And her voice will never fade she is a timeless rose. Thank you God for the time you shared them with us and I pray we will hear them sing to your glory again in eternity in your kingdom. In your name Jesus and the Holy Spirit I pray.
I don't know a few of these talented people and did not know others had passed. Feeling kinda sad about that. I have enjoyed the music of the ones I knew and intend to listen to the others. Rest in peace to them all. Thank you for the video.
Eddie Rabbitt isn't forgotten, not by a long shot. He was constantly on the country chart from the late '70s through almost the entire decade of the '80s.
Thanks for mentioning Laura Brannigan first. She was my favorite artist of all time. I didn't know she passed until about 2 years afterward because I was living in Egypt on Active Duty in the army.
Frankie Benali wasn't the only dead Quiet Riot member he forgot (him and my older brother were friends by the way) he also forgot the little known and seldom talked about guitar player for Quiet Riot by the name of Randy Rhoads, well, at least he recognized Gary Richrath so it wasn't a total loss.
@@rickjensen1636 No offense, but when was Randy Rhoades ever little known or seldom talked about? He's always listed whenever people discuss the greatest rock or metal guitarists of all time. And he died at the height of his fame.
I just can’t listen to Eddie Money these days just makes me feel so sad like trying to watch threes company with John Ritter , just too young and too sad
You said Eddie Money faded into obscurity then you said his voice and music will be with us forever. What? You probably need to find something else to do. All these people are well remembered.
Thats Correct A.J....Love his music, but unfortunately many people have forgotten it.....You should really check the wording of your comments so they make more sense....Have yourself a great day A.J.

You can add lead singer CJ Snare from the band Firehouse to the list.

Chrissy Amphlett of the Divinyls
Irene Cara
You got me with Bobby Farrell and the Naked Eyes guy
The guy from Naked Eyes was Rob Fisher who died of cancer at 42 in 1999. He was also part of Climie Fisher.
Eddie Rabbitt isn't forgotten, not by a long shot. He was constantly on the country chart from the late '70s through almost the entire decade of the '80s.

Thank you helpyourcattodrive....👍😁
I probably know about all these deaths but gonna watch anyway
Thanks for mentioning Laura Brannigan first. She was my favorite artist of all time. I didn't know she passed until about 2 years afterward because I was living in Egypt on Active Duty in the army.
I know one thing reo speed wagon. Had a early album called
You can tune A piano
But you can't tuna fish.
Benny Mardones.
I knew quite a few of these artists had died. Heard of their deaths in the news. Laura Brannigan died just a few weeks after my mother.
Very sad I loved her music in particular Gloria from 1983. Sadly she was too young just 52.
Seriously didn't know Robert Palmer had gone! To be fair, I was busy giving birth that year.
Steve Bronski & Larry Steinbachek from Bronski Beat.
You included Kevin Dubrow, but left out Frankie Banali, Quiet Riot's drummer, who died in 2020.
Frankie Benali wasn't the only dead Quiet Riot member he forgot (him and my older brother were friends by the way) he also forgot the little known and seldom talked about guitar player for Quiet Riot by the name of Randy Rhoads, well, at least he recognized Gary Richrath so it wasn't a total loss.

I was joking/being sarcastic lol
It's not mentioned that Rob Fisher was also one half of the duo Climie Fisher.
I just can’t listen to Eddie Money these days just makes me feel so sad like trying to watch threes company with John Ritter , just too young and too sad
Alan Lanier of Blue Oyster Cult
😢
Laura Brannigan, I found out about a year ago. The rest ping on my phone when celebrities pass away.
Maybe they weren't as big over there as in the UK, but surely Steve Strange of Visage deserves a mention?
Great video. I had no idea.
What about the death of the original lead singer bon Scott who passed away from alcohol poisoning
Never forgot robin never will
You said Eddie Money faded into obscurity then you said his voice and music will be with us forever.
What?
You probably need to find something else to do.
All these people are well remembered.
Thats Correct A.J....Love his music, but unfortunately many people have forgotten it.....You should really check the wording of your comments so they make more sense....Have yourself a great day A.J.

Eddie Money? Are you kidding me? Forgotten? Dude you are detached from reality 🙄
How about Keith Stevenson AKA Cheese Blotto !! Blotto were an early MTV band
