"Meet me in the middle of the night, let me hear you say everything's alright," warbled Mississippi-born Steve Forbert on his defining 1980 hit song Romeo's Tune. "Let me smell the moon in your perfume" he sang - and it was that kind of lyrical poetry, along with Steve's roots-rocking musical approach, that struck a chord with millions of people in the transitional period between 70's folk-rock and 80's new wave.
