I *love* that song! First time I heard it at a club, I thought it was an Italian disco record. Imagine my surprise when it was good ol' Barry!

Lol. Didn't mean that!Sounds painful.

Oh yes. There was that other Barry Manilow track 'In search of love'.

'Band of Gold' Belinda Carlisle also.

I think Barry Manilows' best song was I'd Really Love To See You Tonight - Tony Moran mix.Wonderful.Not sure who did the original.

Wasn't it England Dan or John Ford Coley?
or is that another song?

I recently won the Raquel Welch Track on e-bay. A disconet remix !

A really unusual artist to have a hi-nrg hit is David Knopfler who used to be in rock group Dire Straits ( :o )(& Mark's brother.) I only recently heard 'Shockwave' from '85 & couldn't believe my ears; it has a rhythm that's not dissimilar to Laura Branigan's 'Shattered Glass' IMO! You guys have got to hear it.

Al Corley's "Square rooms" is one of my all time faves...liked his "Cold Dresses" follow up too...reminds me of the time that TOTP used to feature the Europarade every two weeks or so...I loved it! Seeing FR David, Ryan Paris etc before they were released in the UK...good marketing for Carrere Records too, who seemed to release the most Eurohits in the UK in the early/mid 80's

Hi Rich...I found a 12" copy of SQUARE ROOMS the other day - not a bad track at all - Another one for the collection

Carrere records seemed to do especially well during the 1980s dance boom
