Canadian Singers/Songs From the 80's/90's

Since I have decided that it's time for a look back, how about some music that was huge from the late 80's early 90's, and it was all homegrown.

I learned about most of these singers on Canada's very own video show.
It was called Video Hits. It aired on CBC every weekday afternoon at 4:30.
You didn't dare miss it.

Here's a clip from Video Hit's in case you need a reminder.



Some notable hits.

Candy and the Backbeats - Dancing Under a Latin Moon 1988



Haywire - Dance Desire



Can't forget Black and Blue from Haywire either.



Tu - Stay With Me

Taken directly from a broadcast of Video Hits



I have to admit I love the matching cow/zebra print dresses....classy. That was also some pretty big hair.

Platinum Blonde - Crying Over You

We had to learn this song and sing it in music class in 1985....I was in grade 7.



Platinum Blonde - Situation Critical



Eight Seconds - Kiss You When It's Dangerous.

I think this group was actually from Ottawa. Yup from Ottawa.



Toronto - Your Daddy Don't Know - 1982



Lee Aaron -Wha'cha do ta my body



Luba - Let it Go - 1984



Luba - Everytime I see your face
