What About Me...It isn't fair...You just take more than you give

[Shane461]

If you recognize these pieces of lyrics and can tell me the name of the artist
and song, please reply. I appreciate the help. This song has been out a long
while and I hear it occasionally on adult contemporary/easy listening radio.
Thanks.

Te group is Moving Pictures, the song is 'What About Me' and the album is _Days
of Innocence_ (Network, 1982). If you can't find that used, it's also on a host
of '80's compilations.

It was also rereleased around 1988, which is when it became a big hit in the
US. That song was incredible! Gives me chills every time I hear it, even
now.

It was a bigger national hit on original release in 1982 (# 29 with 26 weeks on
the Top 100) than it was on rerelease in 1989 (# 46 with 17 weeks on the Top
100).

Sherriff's 'When I'm With You' , Synch's 'Where Are You Now?' , and Q-Feel's
'Dancing In Heaven (Orbital Be-Bop)' were the singles that were more popular on
the rerelease craze of 1989 than they were upon original release. If I remember
correctly, it was 'When I'm With You' that started the trend. Sheriff had been
broken up for 5 years when newfound radio interest propelled the song to the
top of the charts.

You're right. I was going by memory, as I haven't been able to find my
Whitburn books for numerous years. I just remember that I was a freshman in
college when the song was re-released (which would have been 1988-89), and
the local top 40 station played it about every 15 minutes during that time.

BTW--wasn't "Red Red Wine" by UB40 re-released around the same time?

Yeah, late 1988. So either 'When I'm With You' or that started the trend. Both
of them went to the number 1 in the US the second time around, but Sherriff's
story was obviously a little more miraculous.
