80's Hit Song Review: "Love On the Phone" by Suzanne Fellini (1980)


U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 87

Backstory: Not a whole lot is known or written about Fellini, but from what I could dig up, this was her one and only single to ever chart which was off of her one and only album. Apparently, she might now be a music teacher at PS166 in New York City, which is the Richard Rodgers School of the Arts and Technology. I also found out that she sang some backup vocals for Peter Criss's 1982 album, Let Me Rock You. Interesting.

The review: This is a fun and upbeat post punk style New Wave song with some good and catchy vibes. Suzanne also has a unique young girl like vocal style that I also like with hints of Debbie Harry. Should've been a bigger hit.

Final rating: 7/10
