The 100 Greatest Lost Hits of The 80’s Part 2: The New Batch

#71 

“Sweet Sweet Baby” 

Lone Justice

The first of two songs from Lone Justice on the list, “Sweet Sweet Baby” was the second single from their stellar debut album (the first “Ways To Be Wicked” was featured on the first Lost Hits countdown), and the second single to stiff on the charts, peaking at #73 in August 1985. That Maria McKee didn’t become a huge star is one of the pop mysteries of the 80’s. She did have a huge #1 hit in the UK with “Show Me Heaven” in 1990 (which didn’t chart in the U.S), and she wrote another #1 hit in the UK for another artist (which we’ll be seeing later on this countdown).

So what happened to Lone Justice? Let Maria explain.
