Does anyone remember those 2 solo singers, who had huge hits in 82?

Gurvitz had 'classic', a great beautiful slow song. Benton sang 'Bensonhurst Blues', some kind of jewish-sounds-like soul song.

in Israel, where i live, those songs reached the #1 spot in 82, but i didn't hear about those two in the 18 passing years since then.

did anyone?

gonna write a classic

babe, I'm an addict now
an addict for your love
what a set of lyrics! I would never think they could fit into a ballad - but they did!Have heard Gurvitz's 'Classic' many times on the radio, but Benton has been totally removed from the earth!?!?!
