#95 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: "Dirty Love" by Tim Feehan (1989)

Welcome back yet again to VJ Samsonite's top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown! Today we are presenting #95 of the top 100 countdown! And the song is....Dirty Love, by Canadian singer-songwriter and producer Tim Feehan. Now many, if not most of you are going to be saying "who the fark is Tim Feehan?" Well, Tim graduated from the University of Alberta in 1984 where he was part of a college band called Footloose, that's right, the band's name was Footloose (not referring to the Kenny Loggins song here). Now, Footloose had a an unexpected hit on the Canadian charts called Leaving for Maui, which incidentally also became a big hit in Hawaii. Tim made some big connections after this (including Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and David Foster), then released his self-titled debut album, which earned 5 ARIA Awards. The first song (which is a killer song btw) was Where's the Fire, which was chosen as the theme song for the 80's cult-classic (starring Charlie Sheen & Sherilyn Fenn) The Wraith. Dirty Love, which I have chosen as #95 on the 80's Dance Hits Countdown, was a single released in 1989 by Tim, and was featured on the Timothy Dalton James Bond flick License to Kill. Further than that Tim continues to make songs for various TV series and you can check out his wikipedia page right here. I have indeed created a movie tribute with this song, and hope to share at some point in the future. So now you can say you know a little bit about Tim Feehan, but I invite you to check out his other stuff too...what it is!!! (ps, sorry no video, but the song is there anyways ;-o)
