Stephen Bishop--It Might Be You (1983)

   A few days ago, we featured a song that used in the movie, "Top Gun", and mentioned how that in the 80's, music and movies were blended together in way never done before. The best known example of an artist who took full advantage of this was Kenny Loggins. One that was successful in writing songs used for movies that flew under the radar was Stephen Bishop.

    Bishop's, "On and On" was a top 20 hit in 1977, but in the 80's was best known for writing music for Animal House, Roadie, The China Syndrome, Unfaithfully Yours, and the duet, "Separate Lives" which a number one hit for Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin from the movie, "White Nights". Of all of those 80's songs, this one from the movie "Tootsie" starring Dustin Hoffman reached the highest charting at
#25 in 1983.
