Ep 315 - '80s Edition w/Huey Lewis, Erasure, The Spoons, Sheena Easton

from Famous Lost Words · host Bell Media

It's another special '80s edition! Huey Lewis talks about the beginning of The News, making hits for the radio, and why "I Want A New Drug" could never have been their first single.  Andy Bell from Erasure explains how he convinced his idol, Vince Clarke, to hire him - and how he went from groupie to colleague. He also tells us about the moment that changed his life - and the lives of many others. Sheena Easton joined us in 1981 just as "Morning Train (9 to 5)" was barreling up the charts. She talks about not being quite ready for fame. And in a brand new interview with Sandy Horne and Gord Deppe, The Spoons talk about their impressive run of hits in the '80s and some of their "pinch me" moments!
