    I found "Stars On The Water" on Wikipedia. From '81 (speaking of a good year). I don't remember hearing the name Rodney Crowell before, but I'm pretty sheltered sometimes.

    Stephen Bishop had some really good stuff.

    Would someone like to throw out a new one.

    Not sure if we lost the person with the last question or what?

    Is #1 Voila, An American Dream? I used Google. More used to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band version - I guess he wrote it for them...

    Lesser known band with a lesser known song from the 70s, but good stuff.

    Guessed the artist name and Googled the song title
    I am not familiar with this artist
    Pablo Cruise/ Cool Love

    Correct.

    I'm sure you've heard their two big hits.

    "Love Will Find A Way"
    "Whatcha Gonna Do?"

    I even surprised myself by naming the artist on "Love Will Find A Way". I heard the opening of the song (pretty distinctive) and just blurted out "Pablo Cruise". I hadn't heard the song in 10 or 15 years. Yay me.

    Go Susie.

    My first thought was Double Loving by The Osmonds (among others). Maybe this one is The Doors?

    Yep @Mustang_Susie. If no one else chimes in, your Google "research" is correct!

    I had three, but couldn't come up with John Fogerty off the top of my head.

    Ham, George, Donkey Kong, and Rafiki all agree:
