"Got a Hold on Me" was the obvious choice, I guess, from her 1984 album. It was MOR or adult-contemporary stuff.

But another good choice for that same market would have been "Ask Anybody." I think adult-contemp listeners would have gotten hooked on that one in 1984. I think it might have been one of the most frequently aired singles on those older-listener stations throughout the 1980s had it been released to radio as a single.

I agree, but I think it should have been named something else. I never felt "Friend" was the best name for it.

I love the feel of this song. It has that haunting style she puts out on occasion.. Such a lovely tune..

I honestly don't know!

But I often muse over what the reaction would've been if "Brown Eyes" was released as a single. I still have no idea whether it would've been #1, a chart failure, or somewhere in between!
