There were tons of those. Frieda (formerly of Abba) had the Phil Collins produced "There's Something Going On". Maxwell (son of Berry Gordy, I think) did "Somebody's Watching Me". Dan Hartman (formerly of Edgar Winter Group--and sadly no longer with us) had "I Can Dream About You". There were lots of others.

I remember that Dan Hartman song, wasn't that on the Streets Of Fire soundtrack?

I'm not sure about that. So many great 80s songs were in movies, and most of the rest of them have ended up in movies since then!

Mexican Radio - Wall of Voodoo
Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly) - Icicle Works
