Jimmy Ruffin with Heaven 17: "The Foolish Thing To Do" ...
Heaven 17 w/Jimmy Ruffin - "The Foolish Thing To Do" http://www.youtube.com/wa...k__fk-L7Yk Anybody else remember this one, from back in 1986?... I remember thinking this was a nice surprise, in the midst of all the huge hair and digital, plastic mid 80's, lol..After hearing it on the local college station, I sprinted down to the Import vinyl shop to snatch the 45! I also remember the b-side was their cover of Luther Vandross's " My Sensitivity".... ...

Nice tune. I've never heard this before. Thanks for posting. Always thought of Heaven 17 as strictly a synth pop band. Guess I was wrong. A happy face, A Thumpin Bass, For A Lovin' Race. PEACE. | |

Well, most of their stuff is, although looking back, they worked with everyone from Terence Trent Darby and Tina Turner (they helped launch her solo career) to Carol Kenyon and Earth Wind and Fire's Phoenix Horns... ...
