    Be Near Me by ABC is a perfect example of the great music we had in the 80's, there was so much new music being released so fast you could not keep up with it all at the record store but soon you would hear it on the radio. We were overwhelmed like a tidal wave. If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic movies, music and concerts, YOU were blessed!

      Not sure they were underrated. They sold millions of albums, shows and were featured on top TV shows. They just didn't have super duper long careers like some people (Diana Ross, Madonna, Mick Jagger)

      I have two brothers who are 6 and 9 years older than me and whatever they were into or did, I was right there for it.
      I'm grateful for their influence on me, otherwise I would've missed out on practically everything that was happening at the time.
      I miss the summers spent together at our family's cabin, Air Force squadron picnics, sitting in the living room with my brothers and watching music videos on MTV., my brothers reading their comic books to me and our younger sister, going trick or treating in Air Force Base housing, watching Star Trek the Next Generation on Saturday nights together.
      I always thought that when we all grew up that we'd all have kids of our own and they'd be close with each other like we all were together and with our cousins. Not how life went, but when I listen to songs like this I'm taken back to how we all were then and it makes me smile to myself.

Su música es simple pero evocativa y se oye un poco relajante y me parece que hasta algo nostálgica. Pero la magia es que nos gustó a tantos en el mundo y sigue trayendonos recuerdos de esa época como si nos trasladará a esos años. Todo su sonido me causa eso. Espero a ustedes también. Hay magia.
