80's Hit Song Review: "Nicole" by Point Blank (1981)


U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 39

Backstory: This American rock band from Texas was formed in 1974 and released their debut album on Arista Records before switching to MCA Records, releasing their album, American Exce$$ in 1981. Bill Ham, the music producer who produced music for ZZ Top produced music for this group. This song was their first and only song to ever chart on the Hot 100, though they had one or two more singles that Bubbled Under. They split up in 1983.

The review: This is a pretty good southern rock style song with a groovy swaying beat. It's nothing outstanding, but I do really like it. The production is good as well.

Final rating: 7/10
