Radio Daze: Pop Hits Of The '80s, Vol. ½

I'm a big fan of soft rock and the five volumes of Rhino's 1995 compilation series, Radio Daze, which features soft rock singles from the years 1979-1981.  I've already written about the series over at the sister blog, The CD Project.  Click on the cover below to read those posts.

Inspired by these posts, my buddy Herc put together playlists to make up an additional eleven(!) volumes, extending to include more of the '80s.  I've agreed to break down those playlists track-by-track in a style similar to the one I followed for Rhino's original 5 volumes.  The first in that series of contributions is now available over at Herc's Hideaway.  He's titled the first playlist Vol ½ since it's timeline parallels that of the original series.  Here's the tracks Herc selected:

Title	Artist
Send A Little Love My Way (Like Always)	Stephen Bishop
This Time I’ll Be Sweeter	Angela Bofill
What You Won’t Do For Love	Bobby Caldwell
I Love You	Climax Blues Band
