Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 99
Sam Harris - Don't Look in My Eyes (Unranked)
Pretty shock because when I make an album page titled 20+2 Giant Love Songs on Genius, it including Alphaville's Forever Young, Dan Byrd's Boulevard, Rockwell's Knife, and other songs including "Don't Look in My Eyes" by Sam Harris too, which was pretty underrated because some listeners (including millenial listeners) forget this power ballad. However, Sam Harris was popular in the 1980s with his power ballad, "Don't Look in My Eyes", originally from his self-titled album. "Don't Look in My Eyes" was popular in Indonesia after included on some love song-themed compilation album which was including some act from the United Kingdom, America, the European continent, and other popular countries. After this song, his popularity was down then his later record never reaching the same success as of his self-titled album. However, by the way, after I found Sam Harris when I make an album page on Genius, I finally like his music too!

This is new and classic at the same time, but I particularly like this version:
