retro sunday

Retro music this week. Everyone knows the song SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT, well my Corey sang it. I so loved Corey Hart. I bought every album and single just for the cover pictures of him! I know you are wondering how many singles could that be, it was many people! Those not knowing may be shocked and surprised at the talents and hits that Corey had! 'It ain't enough', 'never surrender', and the classic cover of 'can't help falling in love'. Corey is Canadian ( i actually looked him up in the phone book when I went there, didn't find him!!!!) but now lives in the Bahamas with his 'wife' (should have been me!) and his four kids. He writes songs for others, which is quite lucrative folks, especially when it is for people like Celine Dion(don't hold this against him!!!) A few years back he did re release 'sunglasses' with a groovy young band. His thoughts on this collaboration " In my opinion nothing will ever replace the magical innocence of the original but then again this is not the purpose here...I'm always searching for discovery that intention can't find...cool again. "

Even stinking little Miley has sampled this song in one of her hits!

Ok, so now I go to a place, that could be a little scary!!! He came to Melbourne in 2004. he played at 3XY's Rocktober. Other guests that year included Skyhooks, Australian Crawl, Richard Clapton, Uncanny X-men, Kids in the Kitchen, The Radiators, Electric pandas . Too exciting. But how exciting was it when a few months later, while watching Solid Gold, I notice that he still has his 3XY all access pass on his denim jacket. Photo evidence below!!!

So here's to Corey, whose photos covered my bedroom walls and whose songs filled my vinyl collection!

This is the most recent photo I could find approx 2002.
