Does anyone remember Marty Balin?

He was (of course) a member of Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship who, on his own, had a MASSIVE top 10 hit in 1981 called Hearts and a top 30 hit that same year with Atlanta Lady

In 1983, he had a third hit called What Love Is that failed to reach the U.S. top 40

In Hellas & especially in Thessaloniki, Marty is treated with great respect.
Hearts is among the 3 most popular off season hits of all times in my country

though I must add that You left your mark on me (from his Balin LP)
was a much bigger success than Atlanta Lady.
