Heart Of The 80s

Ever tried hard to think of a song that used to be your favorite by this popular singer but can't quite recall what the song title was? Yes, it's been happening to me often. We commonly call it as the "tip-of-the-tongue" phenomenon. Or call that memory gap or early senior moment :)

Had one of those musings a few months ago as I was watching one of Pops Fernandez' tv shows. I thought to myself, "What were those Original Pinoy Music songs I used to love by Pops Fernandez during the early 80's? I remember they were quite meaningful to me. Whatchamacallit song about a gray sky or a thunderstorm..." but sadly, I could not recall the song title...  Until just recently when we hired a videoke machine for my aunt's recent birthday party, did I find the answer in a videoke songbook list for Pops Fernandez's music... and there it was! ALONE IN THE RAIN is back to me! Thank you, Ms. Pops Fernandez, for another of your songs from the 80's...
