ABC is an English band that has been described as being new wave synth-pop. The song of the day I am picking \u201c<strong>Be Near Me<\/strong>\u201d is the second single on the album <em>How to Be a&#8230;Zillionaire! <\/em>Which is the third album from the group released in April 1985. The song is the only single from the album to reach the UK Top 40 however in the United States it reached the number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. With the keyboard as one of the main instruments throughout the song especially in the intro this song is sure to be a favorite at clubs and even just a song to listen to at home. This is one of my favorite 80\u2019s song in my top 10 song list mainly for the keyboard solo throughout and the tone of the song. The video has a lot of fun elements you might enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VhAgQMqVxiE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<div class='author-shortcodes'>\n\t\t\t<div class='author-inner'>\n\t\t\t\t<div class='author-image'>\n\t\t\t<img src='' alt='' \/>\n\t\t\t<div class='author-overlay'><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- .author-image --> \n\t\t<div class='author-info'>\n\t\t\tDJ Holly is the host of &#8220;Retro 80s Hits&#8221;\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- .author-info -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- .author-inner -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- .author-shortcodes -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The KKSM Song of the Day, as picked by DJ Holly, is &#8220;Be Near Me&#8221; by ABC.
