David Sterry of Real Life: Hearing "Send Me An Angel" on the radio

In November of 1983, Real Life released their single "Send Me An Angel" in the US. Lost 80s Live stopped in Chicago earlier this year and Antenna TV was there speaking to David Sterry of Real Life. We asked him about the first time he heard "Send Me An Angel" on the radio but instead, he decided to tell us about a couple of embarrassing times. What's your favorite '80s song?

I was 13 years old when this song was released, it's still high on my list of favorite songs. I keep many things in a room behind my smile.

Most people born after 1990 dont know any 80s music. Or think its from a time before dinosaurs. I was a teen in the 80s. When this came out I was 14. Always liked it. From the sound of it and the original video I always picture some fantasy barbarian movie with it playing during the travel and adventure part.

[@bhererbherer9731]

STOP DISCREDITING YOURSELF DAVID!! Aren’t you aware you say negative things about yourself! I adore this song! ❤️❤️❤️. Many souvenir ! Dancing so much on it ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💕💕💕

[@kerrycooper8809]

Oh i had a crush on you...still do, he he

[@davidwesson6381]

David, get on with the sory & tell us how the three angels got into the song.

[@rodwilliams4170]

American Bandstand tops every other Real Life TV appearance for 80's schmaltz. What is the bass player doing to his instrument in that clip? It's horrendous (and actually a crime against fashion). And we thought you couldn't go past Pseudo Echo and Duran Duran for fashion crimes. Great pop song BTW!!

[@tonyrome5075]

Ugly? You were a very good looking guy! Unusual looks but that how rock stars look

[@davidgarris2513]

So wait, was he doing a show in Chicago or does he now live there ? 🤔

[@huntress2538]

David, he was touring with a large international gig of artists from memory, he was playing in most countries before COVID. He lives here in Aus in Melbourne and recently released his new album Sirens while in lockdown. You're a fan? David is a friend of mine so give me a shout and I'll link his social media along with the album x

[@davidgarris2513]

@@huntress2538 I will. And thank you. I'm retired from Warner Bros in Chicago. I will get back to you. I Just moved from Illinois to the far north of michigan. My next door neighbor is from Sydney

[@davidgarris2513]

So my personal cell is 779-513-1756. At one point in my life I was personal friends with Michael Score from A Flock of Seagulls. I would love to speak with MR DAVID STERRY. But all my love from the UP of Michigan . 🐶🐶🐶

David never mentions God Tonight which was better than SAA....

Teraz to on jest Stary a nie Sterry. Dramatycznie się zestarzał...
