I honestly havent heard this tune since 1994. Listening to 2fm in my bedroom at night as a 12 year old. This tune has stayed with me and has often popped into my head over the years but I did not have a clue who played it or what it was even called so could never find it again. Low and behold by chance today I turned on 2fm while driving and this tune was playing. I had to pull over the car and scramble to turn on Shazam. I finally had it after 29 years waiting 😂 this brings back some fond memories.
