LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 21, 2019…ON THIS DATE 35 YEARS AGO BON JOVI’S CAME OUT WITH THEIR SELF TITLED DEBUT ALBUM. THIS ALBUM WAS FUELED BY THE SONG ‘RUNAWAY’, WHICH WAS THE BAND’S FIRST HIT.
THE BAND AT THE TIME COULDN’T GET A RECORD DEAL, AND JON BON JOVI TOOK THE SONG TO A LOCAL RADIO STATION. THE DJ THAT HE TALKED TO LOVED THE SONG, AND INCLUDED IT ON THE STATION’S LOCAL TALENT COMPILATION CD. THE SONG BECAME ON OF THE STATION’S MOST REQUESTED SONGS. ON THE STRENGTH OF THE LOCAL POPULARITY, THE BAND WAS SIGNED TO A RECORD CONTRACT.
IT’S FROM 1984, SO GET READY FOR SOME BIG HAIR !! HERE’S THE VIDEO FOR RUNAWAY
