DEF: David Lasley “If I Had My Wish Tonight”
Though he’s been a backup singer to some of the biggest names in pop music, Michigan-born singer David Lasley appeared on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart just once on his own. However, that one appearance did net Lasley a Top 40 hit. On this date in 1982, Lasley’s song “If I Had My Wish Tonight” climbed to a peak position of number 36, where it would spend two weeks. Today, “If I Had My Wish Tonight” is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
