@@mikeg1378 This kind of success destroys bands, you can;t live up to it. They have a second song that the radio played but it never caught on. I can't even remember if it was too similar or too different. Look how many times this was filmed, !!! in the 80's, and I am sure lots have been lost. strange looking band as well, three generations up there, a early 70's drummer, two guys in their mid 20's and a howard jones looking teenage keyboard player.

It took me decades to find this song again! I rarely heard it on the radio stations when it came out, but when I did it caught my attention every time and I raced to the radio to turn it up. I just couldn't ever catch the name of the band. Funny I just happened to come across your channel a couple months ago... and can hardly go a day without punching this song up loud again. One of those regrets that I never got to see you all at a gig. Great interviews on the other videos too. This song is one of my top 5 all time!
