U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 84
Backstory: This London based R&B group got signed to Mercury Records in 1981 and soon released their self titled debut album during the same year. Their only ever Hot 100 entry would be this tune, which stalled rather low on the actual Hot 100, but got to as high as No. 14 on the R&B Charts and as high as No. 5 on the Hot Dance Club Play Charts. It also got to as high as No. 42 in their native U.K. They would release two more albums, but due to the lack of success, they disbanded in 1984.
The Review: I've always really liked this catchy, positive, and upbeat sounding R&B tune with nice keyboards and vocals. Definitely a good tune for a hot summer day. Not sure why it stalled so low on the actual Hot 100 as it definitely deserved to be a much bigger hit.
Final rating: 8/10
