Singer/songwriter Johnette Napolitano formed the band Dream 6 with James Mankey in Los Angeles in 1982. In 1986, they signed with IRS records and changed their name to Concrete blonde. They were joined by drummer Harry Rushakoff on their debut album. Roxy Music drummer Paul Thompson replaced Rushakoff for their second album 'Bloodletting', which spawned the hit single 'Joey'.
'Joey' peaked at number 14 in the Dutch Top 40, but didn't chart in the UK. As is obvious from the sleeve of my single, the song was used in the German television series Tatort, in the episode 'Zabou' which was televised on July 22, 1990 in Germany.
