Hart also scored a number of lesser hits like "It Ain't Enough" (#17), "Boy In The Box" (#26), "I Am By Your Side" (#18), and his cover of the Elvis Presley hit, "Can't Help Falling In Love" (#24).
Staying true to his own songwriting craft, Hart arguably missed out on some huge opportunities, including an audition to play Marty McFly in Back To The Future (which ultimately went to Michael J. Fox - another Canadian!) and recording the song "Danger Zone" (which ultimately went to Kenny Loggins - not a Canadian!) for the movie Top Gun.
Hart closed out the 80s with one of his most rocking albums called "Bang!" It featured Kenny Aronoff on drums and yielded the minor hit, "A Little Love," which managed to get to #37 in 1990. It proved to be his last chart appearance in the US, largely because Hart decided to take a break from music and focus on other things, including his family. He has sporadically released some adult contemporary efforts since then.
