Hot 80s Nights!: "Good Man in a Bad Time" by Ian Hunter (1985)

Welcome back to Hot 80s Nights!, or should I say welcome to Fright Night! This edition of Hot 80s Nights! goes to English singer/songwriter Ian Hunter and his 1985 song Good Man in a Bad Time. Ian Hunter is an English musician who entered the music scene in 1958, and was the lead singer of the band Mott the Hoople from 1969-74, and has continued on as a solo-artist for many years. Good Man in a Bad Time was a song he recorded for the Fright Night movie soundtrack (1985 version), and that is where it can be found. I watched this movie (the original, not the newer version), and its sequel (1989) just recently and dug the music, I just love those 80s movies and their classic soundtracks, and the lesser known but great songs found on them! Check out the movie and the rest of the soundtrack if you like what you hear, and note that Ian Hunter appeared on a few more rare 80s movie soundtracks with songs that are well worth listening to, so check the out too.
