Smooth Operators: '80s Soft Rock Hits

They just don't make soft rock ballads like they did in the '80s. Love was grand, the pain was searing, mullets were flowing and synth solos would touch you to your very core. Open your heart to emotional tracks by Richard Marx, Foreigner, Olivia Newton-John, Phil Collins, REO Speedwagon and many more.
