'Dancing girls' was released as the third single from Nik Kershaw's debut album 'Human racing' (1984). The track was remixed for the single release. Also notable was the entertaining and funny music video, using the theme of the song very well.
El Debarge was born on June 4, 1961. He was the lead singer of the band Debarge, which scored their biggest hit in 1985 with the UK number 4 hit 'Rhythm of the night'. After this success, El left the group to start a solo career. His first break came in 1986 when he was asked to perform a song for the soundtrack of the movie 'Short circuit': 'Who's Johnny'.
'Woman to woman' was released as the third single from Beverley Craven's self-titled debut album. Just like 'Promise me' and 'Joey' before it, this single did not chart in the UK. But the single also didn't chart in the Netherlands.
The English soft rock band Sad Cafe was very successful in the late Seventies, but during the Eighties they faded more and more into obscurity. What made matters worse was that band member Paul Young joined the side project of Genesis member Mike Rutherford, Mike & the Mechanics.
The musical 'Evita', written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, began life as an album before ever taking form on the British stage. Julie Covington first sang 'Don’t cry for me Argentina' for the original 1976 studio release. The single with the Julie Covington recording reached number 1 in the UK singles chart and the Dutch Top 40.
'Love comes quickly' was released as the third single from the Pet Shop Boys' debut album 'Please'. Although it was a top 20 hit in the UK, its chart performance was disappointing, given that it followed the worldwide number one, 'West end girls'. The song is about the inevitability of falling in love, even for those who deliberately shun the idea.
'Rockin' back inside my heart' was released as the second single from Julee Cruise's 1989 debut album 'Floating into the night'. David Lynch wrote the lyrics for the song and Angelo Badalamenti composed the music.
