The year 1981 is messing me up, I think the lyric to 18. is "I'll be there" by The Jackson 5. But that came out in the 70s... so maybe a different artists, eh?

hmmm..ok, I think Michael Jackson's solo album probably came out right around that time, so I'm hazarding a guess that he is the artist you are looking for. ;D

Hi there, Graham! Good to see you here again! :)

That is correct, which means you'll share credit with bookmistress (Patty), as she got the artist first... :)

Hi,
You have the right group here, but the song title is incorrect...

Ok ... I'll solve that last one ... anything for HALF a point ! :D
The one that you love (Air Supply) .... one that I serenaded some nut with 8-P :-[ :( .... at a karaoke 7 years or so ago with.
Sang it with plenty of feeling ... I guess the embarrassment is my dumb notion that I was the 'loved one' ::)
