"When You're Young" by Shooting Star

If you listen to them today, you'd probably wonder as I do why the Kansas City band Shooting Star wasn't more of a force on the charts in the 80s. They managed a handful of minor hits throughout the decade, but nothing that reached the Top 40 to make them a household name.

Shooting Star first appeared on the charts in 1980 when "You've Got What I Need" peaked at #76. A good start, but their next charting single, "Hollywood," only reached #70 in 1982. The band was quiet until 1989, when "Touch Me Tonight" topped out at #67.

"When You're Young" is a typical 80s anthem lifted from their acclaimed 1985 album, "Silent Scream."
