this was a great time for good music since there was so many great bands releasing material during this time and a few years before or after and I can think of some great ones such as Foreigner, Journey, REO etc, etc. Dean Dukes from Valdosta, GaMaybe one of my all time favorite ballads of the '80s.* They just missed having three #1 records when both the above 'Waiting For A Girl Like You' and 'Double Vision'.

Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn November 22, 1981, 'Waiting For A Girl Like You' by Foreigner peaked at #2 for 10 weeks on Billboard's Top 100 chart.Īs noted above, for the first nine weeks it was at #2, 'Physical' by Olivia Newton-John was at #1 and for it's 10th week, 'I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) by Daryl Hall & John Oates was in the top spot.īetween 19 the group had twenty-two Top 100 records nine made the Top 10 with one* reaching #1, 'I Want to Know What Love Is' for two weeks in 1985.

Seventhmist from 7th HeavenAs Gramm said, it's a mainstay at weddings, including my friend's wedding reception.

It was like they suddenly decided to stop fooling around with superficial stuff and get serious. Smitty from The Other SideThis song took my opinion of them to a new level.It's interesting when people who have never achieved anything in music or any other profession, can knock people who have had massive success in music or some other profession! Can't think of a worse person to take advice from! Anthony Longo from Chandler Arizona This is one of the greatest songs of all time.After this came out a number of rockers included a power ballad in their album releases. I don't think they 'sold out' by doing a ballad. Great song from a band with a number of great songs. Then Records came out and I wore that one out as well. Larry from Spokane, WaThis is the song that got me hooked on Foreigner.Martin from Fresno, Ca.I have been looking for that special woman all my life.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Writer/s: Lou Grammatico, Michael Leslie Jones (I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting) There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly It's more than a touch or a word we'd sayįrom the moment I wake up 'til deep in the night Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive I've been waiting for a girl like you, you're a love that will survive I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
