Day 23: A song from the 80s


I am working on my own theme of artists that never got the attention and love they should have. Romeo Void was a post-punk-but-not-quite-New Wave band when New Wave was taking over radio and MTV. They were more art house rock with a mix of punk and funk, based around singer Debora Iyall’s sultry vocals and Benjamin Bossi’s saxophone work, and eschewing the extensive keyboard sounds of the day. Iyall, a Cowlitz tribal member, was a powerful and versatile singer, going from sexy to sardonic, indifferent to impassioned at will. But Columbia Records didn’t know how to market them, and never gave them the support they needed, cutting them off mid-tour, even with a couple minor radio hits. The band never bounced back after that crash, and Iyall went back to her first love, art.

This is a live performance of “Never Say Never,” from An Evening at the Improv. It is not their highest performing single, but it is their best known song.

“I might like you better
If we slept together
But there's somethin'
In your eyes that says
Maybe that's never
Never say never”

“Never Say Never (live),” Romeo Void (1984)

I was gonna go a totally different direction on this one, but my wife and I were talking about Tina Turner just the other day and she remembered a few times she had seen her. She was always amazed by her legs! She dated a rock photographer in the late 70s/early 80s, and she got to sit in the photography area with him.

Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy just kicks ass! She would be known as the frontwoman of "Mother's Finest" which you should really look up and listen to if you have never heard them but today, instead, I'm bringing a song from the soundtrack of The Breakfast Club because I loved that movie growing up.

Angelyne is one of the most L.A. things ever. I didn’t realize she’d actually recorded music until this week.

It’s terrible. It’s awful. And I love it.

Day 23- A song from the 80's.
I loved the show Miami Vice and had such a crush on Don Johnson. The show was the 80's. I can't believe I had forgotten he did this song.

This hook is not an ear worm, it has lived in my heartbeat since I first heard it. It is the hook.

I loved the show Miami Vice and had such a crush on Don Johnson. The show was the 80's. I can't believe I had forgotten he did this song.

I forget about the whole genre of "80s actors making albums." Don Johnson, Philip Michael Thomas, Eddie Murphy, Bruce Willis... wild time.
