Right on the song title; Now can you give the artists name that recorded this song in the 80s?

#20, the band is Naked eyes


Yep

Right on the song title; Now can you give the artists name that recorded this song in the 80s?

Art Garfunkel may have sang this, but don't know if it's 70s or 80s.

bass guitar eagles. Its' not Don Henley, nor Glen Frey...Not Joe Walsh...Is it Schmidt? Meisner? (can't think of who else was on the Eagles) Schmidt sang "I can't tell you why"...maybe it's him?
