Gruff-voiced Montreal native Corey Hart is part of the ‘80s canon thanks to “Sunglasses at Night,” his paranoid synth-pop smash. But he's since become one of Canada's most celebrated pop stars, winning Junos for his passionate, idiosyncratic pop songs. While his musical and lyrical inspirations have evolved with the times, his weathered vocals remain at the centre, giving soul to the hard-edged “Boy in the Box” and adding heat to the strutting “So Visible (Easy to Miss).” Hart may be best known for his ‘80s smashes, but his songwriting savvy and unwillingness to surrender his creative impulses have made him a pop icon for the ages.
