This song had popularity in the USA in 1988:

I live on the east coast. Does anyone remember of it was regular rock or soft rock? Nothing is known about here, and almost nothing in RYM, link:

I'm trying to nail down its genre & release date.

Thanks

It's here. https://www.45cat.com/record/is341

The release date is shown as Feb. '88.

From Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aswad

Hope that helps.

In the UK this falls under the Reggae banner. As said on wikipedia "Aswad are a British reggae group, noted for adding strong R&B and soul influences to the reggae sound."

It looks like it first appeared in the US in May 1988: link:

Stats here are kind of light, but it's all we have. I can't remember if it was a mainstream rock song. It may have been in the movies or in a television commercial, maybe for Nike. It's hard to accept this one in my playlists.

Thank you!

Co-Written By Albert Hammond, whom I am sure would love the Reggae styling attribute for it. Certainly a Reggae Beat to it , but has the British, rather than Jamacian , vibe to it.
