Okay, this may be embarrassing to admit, but I just bought the song "Island Fever" by Jack Wagner and am thinking about my old cassette copy of the All I Need album and wondering if I still own it.
Seriously! The dude wasn't half that bad a singer back in the 80s. I used to own all three of his albums (All I Need, Lighting Up The Night, and Don't Give Up Your Day Job.)
I always liked "Island Fever" because its haunting, hi-tech (for that time!) sound really appealed to me and at the same time actually struck me as a bit creepy. And all these years later, I still think it sounds pretty good...almost up there in quality with that "other soap singer," Rick Springield.
Jack Wagner recently appeared on an episode of "Hot In Cleveland" and he's aged very well. I don't know why, exactly, but I've always sort of thought he seems like a nice guy:)
I need somebody to keep me away from the keyboard so I don't end up buying "Sneak Attack" and "Tell Him (That You Won't Go)" off All I Need!!:)
