Expose'

I think they are so underrated and wish they would have put out more albums. What do you guys think of them?

Exposé was huge back in my day.

I remember that one of their songs broke a record held by the Beatles (don't ask me which).

Unfortunately it seemed as though they went from hard-hitting club beats to lite-FM melodies and that killed their relativity with their fan base.

But I would love to see a new album with a decent producer.

I love Expose.I was supposed to see them in concert this weekend,but the show is obviously cancelled.My favorite songs are “Point Of No Return” and “Let Me Be The One”.

We can blame Clive Davis for that.After awhile,he tried to turn them into an adult contemporary act,singing big pop ballads.I guess the major success of “Seasons Change” convinced him that this would be the right direction for them.Or more likely,he didn’t think that freestyle music would last long.

Exposé's run was too short as far as I'm concerned. I'd like to see all the surviving members contribute to a documentary. That group has a wild story. It would make a great stage musical in the right hands. I initially had their first album on cassette. When I later bought the CD I noticed "Point Of No Return" had a different vocal. I didn't know at the time of all the personnel changes that occurred when the album was being put together. Gioia was my favorite. But they all had something unique. Clive did them dirty.

I wish they could release another album.Every so often,they release a new song or a remix of an old song.They always find some way to release stuff.

mine too.She has a strong,powerful voice.It was sad when she had to leave the group for awhile (because of throat problems).I love her vocals on "Let Me Be The One".

They were the first group to have four Top 10 hits (on Billboard) from their debut album,including the 1988 number one "Seasons Change".

They should remake the cover girls because of you and rerelease it. Such an underrated song and think they can pull it off with the vocal similarity. Will be a nice treat for freestyle fans

I have the super deluxe edition of ‘Exposure’ and it includes both versions of “Point Of No Return”,along with numerous remixes.I highly recommend this set if you don’t already have it.
