1980s Power Ballads: A Celebration of the Greatest Anthems - Part Eight

[@legman1476]

Richard Page sang backing vocals on the following Rick Springfield albums; Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet [1982] Living in Oz [1983] Hard to Hold [1984] Tao [1985] Rock of Life [1988] Steve Farris (Guitarist of Mr. Mister) tried out for KISS as Ace was departing. He played the guitar solo on "Creatures of the Night", was paid for that but didn't make the band. Gary, Tim Pierce played on several of these as well. Remember he's famous for the solos/ guitar parts for "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House and "Runaway" by Bon Jovi. AND I can't believe you brought out "Don't Let It End." My favorite Styx song, pants down!

Against All Odds is a pure ballad

Mr. Mister’s “Broken Wings” and “Run To Her” are power ballads …. “Kyrie” is an awesome song but it is not a power ballad. Richard Page sang a lot of background vocals for Rick Springfield and many others. “Welcome To The Real World” was Mr. Mister’s second album. They released four albums. Richard Page and the keyboardist Steve George were also in a prior band named Pages that released a couple of albums and were on the charts.
