Subject: 80s songs with keyboard/synth/piano solos
Written By: whistledog on 05/15/22 at 11:07 pm
Here is the 1981 hit In Your Letter by REO Speedwagon.
Listen at 1:14 for a really great piano solo. Every time I hear this song, I feel like John Candy doing "The Mess Around" in Planes, Trains and Automobiles

You remember the 1984 #1 hit Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run) by Billy Ocean, but if you didn't own the album, you may not know about this one ...
This song makes fantastic use of a synthesizer throughout but the album version is the only way I listen to it. At almost 8 minutes in length, it has one of the greatest synth solos of the decade at 3:58 in the song.
In some countries it was recorded as African Queen (No More Love On The Run) and European Queen (No More Love On The Run) and while the synth solo does not appear in the former, it does in the latter (album mix only; single versions do not have it)

I love a lot of instrumental solos in Five Star songs. This must be a synth at 2:43. Love the "late night" vibe of it...
