<br>Hasselhoff? Eddie Murphy? Don Johnson? Whoever that Al Corley guy was?

ironically I think Al Corley is probably the most New Wave sounding of them all, and one I personally enjoy the most [:D]

Michael Des Barres. I think he fits the topic.

I'm sure someone else here knows who he is.

In fact I'm quite sure Michael Des Barres and Holly Knight performed the ORIGINAL version of Obsession, later made famous by Animotion. How bout them apples?

It just randomly occured to me to mention that Don Johnson's singing voice is quite similar to Billy Vera's, and Billy Vera had a #1 hit once.

Rick Springfield's "Bop 'Til You Drop" has a nice synthpop sound to it.

Seriously, you're putting up someone with a credit of "Various Voices" from Teletubbies?

Have to admit they had a better sounding voice than those examples eight6 has been littering the site with.

I kind of liked that song by Eddie Murphy. My girl wants to party all the time. Too cheesy not to like.
