Remember these guys! The album was quite good.

Everyone remembers the ultimate 80s movie The Breakfast Club but does anyone remember the awesomeness that was Breakfast Club the band? They only had one record but boosted a lot of talent in the line-up. Originally formed in the late 70s in New York, the band included a then unknown Madonna as their drummer/sometimes vocalist in the very early 80s. Madonna was eventually replaced by drummer Stephen Bray who was also her boyfriend at the time and later her co-writer on many of her early hits such as Angel, Into The Groove,Over And Over, Stay, Express Yourself and countless others. Pre-BrayMadonna dated Breakfast Club singer/guitarist Dan Gilroy. Girlory's brother Ed also played guitar in the band. Even stranger, Randy Jackson (American Idoljudge, music producer) later joined the band as the bass player.

Breakfast Club was an American pop group. Their biggest hit single was "Right on Track", which went to No. 7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was remixed for a commercial release in a 12" version for dance/club play by John "Jellybean" Benitez and went top ten on the Billboard Magazine Hot Dance Club Play chart.

The group was formed in New York in the late 1970s, and went through several line-ups including one in which Madonna was the drummer. By the early 1980s, the band included Madonna, Angie Smit on bass, and the Gilroy brothers, Dan and Ed, both on guitar (Dan sang lead vocals as well). Dan Gilroy was also briefly Madonna's boyfriend, and he eventually allowed her to sing some lead vocals. Madonna ultimately left to form a new band Emmy, but the remaining members soldiered on.

By the mid 1980s, the band consisted of the Gilroys (with Dan now concentrating exclusively on vocals, while Ed provided all guitars), Gary Burke (bass), Paul Kauk (keyboards), and Stephen Bray (drums). Both Bray and Burke had previously been Madonna's bandmates in Emmy. Bray had also dated Madonna for a while, and reportedly, Madonna had initially suggested him as her replacement in Breakfast Club.^{[citation needed]} They signed with ZE Records and released their eponymous album in 1987, which spawned the U.S. Top Ten hit "Right On Track". Later,Randy Jackson (bass) and E. Doctor Smith (The Drummstick, percussion) joined the band.
