    One of my oldest friends passed away. I remember when she bought this album and played it for me. I can still see her teenaged self smiling and singing the lyrics as we danced around her bedroom. I'm here today for you Deb. I love you and will miss you forever 💘

    I recall first time I saw this video, it was 80s, it was the best era in music and MTV actually showed music videos instead of the BS that they show now, hence Music TV. This was so good, the music, the video and we had fun, we enjoyed the music, we danced to it and we loved this song. I have to admit, I was not a huge fan of theirs, not that I didn't like them, just didn't get a chance to listen to too many of their songs, but then heard some of their music in the movies later and loved every single one of their songs that I heard. If anyone can recommend other songs by them, I would love to hear all of them if possible. Great music is truly timeless and ageless. Brings back some amazing memories of having fun and enjoying life.
