    It wasn't Al Stewart singing "Real and Unreal" was it.

    He sounds somewhat Alan Parsons Project like. He's best known for The Year Of The Cat.

    I doubt it's Tony Hadley and my partner and I know just about everyhjng he's ever done and we're stumped!

      Power ballad is a good description. I can't remember it well enough to tell you whether it was more guitar or synth. Nope, not Al Stewart either.

        I can't find anything! I love a good mystery, and I know a lot about music, but I'm totally lost on this one!

            The only thing off the top of my head is by faith no more, a real thing (I think)
            Although if that's not it and nobody gets it I do know who to ask, and I will be seeing him next weekend!

              I found it.

              Heard it playing on the radio, memorized and later googled some of the other lyrics in the song.

              The chorus was not "unreal" - it was "ah, Leah".

              You know, I've been looking for this song for close to thirty years? I first remember hearing it at summer camp.

                It was a huge hit, and it was Donnie Iris's only hit. Still hear it from time to time, because people love that song. And rightfully so, I think.

                  Not sure how I missed this thread five years ago. I am pretty sure that I would have suggested Ah, Leah. Granted, I saw the answer first, then saw the question. Take it for what it is worth.

                  That depends. Define "hit". Love is Like a Rock and My Girl both made Billboard's Top 40. My Girl actually peaked higher that Ah, Leah, making his biggest hit. However, I don't recall ever hearing My Girl get any air play. Never understood Billboard.

                      How about "Love is Like A Rock"?

                      One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.

                        I disagree with the premise.
