80's Hit Song Review: "I Don't Mind At All" by Bourgeois Tagg (1987)


U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 38

Backstory: This Sacramento band was formed by Brent Bourgeois and Larry Tagg in 1984. In 1986, they released their first hit single, "Mutual Surrender (What A Wonderful World)", which peaked at No. 62 on the Hot 100. This second single was their only ever Top 40 hit and last hit song, peaking at No. 38 in 1987. After disbanding, Bourgeois kept on creating more music, mostly in the genres of pop and Contemporary Christian. Later, Tagg kept on making more music as well, but also became a high school English and history teacher. He retired from teaching in 2017.

The review: I've always loved this beautiful short but sweet tune with interesting lyrics and a nice melody with strings and a soft guitar. Should've been a Top 10 hit.

Final rating: 10/10
