Heard this song on the radio, they never said who the artist was.

I’m thinking it’s from the mid-late 80’s.

I also think the band was Canadian from something the DJ said prior to it being played.

The main lyrics were “I’m in love, still in love. Ah, ah, ah”.

Any clue?

Genre? Instrumentation? Man or woman or 5-part harmonies?

[Still In Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctfKyaYSfOs) by the Stage Dolls, perhaps? Seems to fit the criteria, except they’re from Norway.

Possibly [I’m Not In Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln86-fteBOc) by 10CC?

Hall & Oates doing Al Green?

Seal covered it too, much later. I think it was the same song. He’s also not Canadian…

This is it! Thanks.

Possibly I thought they were Canadian because to me the singer sounds vaguely like Bryan Adams.

So the answer to “genre” is “Cheesy 80s hair metal”…
