I want you to give their second album another listen  It's a solid album.The 1st album was pretty funky 4 a band of Mormons out of Minneapolis not associated with Prince. lol At least their producers realized that Prince wasn't even doin "Prince" by 86'-87', so they went even more middle of the road.

I got so burned out on that song that I have no desire to ever hear it again. A local lite rock station near me still plays that song in heavy rotation some twenty four years after it's release. Amazing.... |

Really? I never hear it. I understand though because I feel that way about a lot of songs that I swear never left the radio since they were added 20 years ago. | |

Yeah,that first album is superb.I pulled it out a few days ago.I had forgotten about the song "Private Number",which I really liked back then.I think that was the third single. | |

It's not like they had heavily layered tracks, and there were 8 of them. I could see them actually playing live?? I saw them in concert in 1986 and I'm sure they were playing live.There was no backing (studio) band at all | |

Christ, when did she record that monstrosity? It's some sort of Japanese bonus track from her first album. She pretty much sucked the life out that song!  | |

But as I also stated, someone recently told me they were playing to DAT tapes, which kinda made sense because Kathy was the only one on keys and there are more than 2 keyboard parts on songs like Crush on You and Curiosity, so I wonder if that is true or did they do it all live? They also did the I would die 4 u/Baby I'm A Star encore like the PR tour (again stated above! LOL)  |

LOL) I am guessing they were miming, unless someone remembers a few "false starts" or "train wrecks" like real bands. | |

Little known fact: This song is written by Rupert Holmes, more famous for the song "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)".
