Professor Of Rock has released the new video below, along with the following introduction….
“What happens when iconic band members step out of the spotlight of their famous groups and go solo? In the 1980s, some of the biggest hits came from artists who broke away, even temporarily, to carve out a piece of music history on their own. And sometimes they bettered the bands they came from. Today we have the top 5 solo songs with some special guests. Including a song by Phil Collins that might be the most famous urban legend in music history, as well a Stevie Nicks song that came from an in-flight menu, plus a song by Lou Gramm who offered to Foreigner first, but they turned it down… so he recorded it as a solo song and it outsold Foreigner’s next 5 singles! There’s also the story of Steve Perry’s girlfriend who was not liked by his band Journey, so he wrote a song about her and did it solo and it became a massive hit. Join us as we count down the Top 5 solo hits of the decade – songs that proved these artists didn’t need their bands to strike gold. you’ll see why stepping out on their own was the ultimate power move… next on Professor Of Rock.”
