She is so sweet

[@mdiaz4637]

She made more 80s songs!

[@andrewphillips8198]

She talks just like she sings. Very light and smooth.

[@dirtycarpet6134]

first thing i said to myself, great point phill

[@bitsquirrel140]

Vanilla Latte comes to mind...

[@magicmark1837]

Two very nice and down-to-earth people. Wish they'd played them performing.

[@SLoft7241]

Exactly. Right on. Yes they should have but can also find them on You Tube search👌👍🏻😊💜

[@RocStarr913]

It likely would cost them money in licensing to use the actual performances, especially since performances were lip-synched to the original records.

Dick Clark : this interview shows what a legend that guy was

[@ABdancers]

Great to see this interview. Valerie Day is awesome!

[@arturovargas6515]

She is so cute...I thought for sure she was British.. Point of Return is my jam!!!

[@angru5oklok]

The 80s seem like the 50s to me now lol. People were more polite!

[@RocStarr913]

It depends on where you were. Cable being in its infancy is why people were more polite.

[@tonyhill1264]

Gosh, I miss the 80s!!! Everyone was so nice and polite and just happy!!!!😁😁😁😁

[@davidwirth2716]

They made a whole career out of 2 songs over 35 years.

[@Czechbound]

Back in the day "I Can't Wait" was The Jam, it was a Hit on The Pop, R & B & Dance Chart where it went to Number One. They also did Solid Gold & were one of the very few White Acts to do Soul Train. They even went to The UK and did Top Of The Pops, England's Number One Music Show. Another Fly White Gal was Ta Mara from Ta Mara & The Seen with "Everybody Dance" (Not The Chic Song). One of her former Bandmates was Oliver Leiber whose Father Jerry was along with Mike Stoller one of the First Successful Songwriting Teams in Music who wrote for Elvis, Drifters, Coasters, Wilbert Harris. They even Produced The "Original" Version of Go Now by Bessie Banks.

[@icecreamcake1457]

Another White duo, The Family, consisted of a man and woman. They were part of the Minneapolis Sound, with a hit song called “High Fashion”, written by Prince, who also recorded his own version of the song. Another hit by The Family was called, “The Screams of Passion”.

@@icecreamcake1457 That's Right! Boy wasn't Minneapolis, MN amazing as was Miami, Fl., with Expose, Sweet Sensation, Seduction. So many Girlbands. Thanks for reminding me. Hope you are fine stay safe and God Bless.

[@blznft9513]

Ciao salute 🇮🇹😇🇪🇺💞 made so many people dance!and You still do! congratulations 💔 CLUB S

[@bitsquirrel140]

"Such a smash" haha

[@Selectrolux]

I guess Dick didn't get the memo that Valerie Day and John Smith are husband and wife. Nonetheless, I remember when "I Can't Wait" came out in early 1986. I loved that song the first time I heard it and went to the record store to buy the single. I felt the same way about their follow-up song, "Point of No Return." I still have those records to this day.

[@AmericanSoldierSioux1969]

Valerie Day...always a beautiful woman! An underrated group. I thought they were great!

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Valerie Day is just wholesome and sexy all at once!

[@kevingoins9858]

DC always taped his show in "real time" as if it's a live broadcast. You do four tapings a month on one Saturday and see if it's easy - it ain't. As for him being a "dork" - well if it wasn't for that "dork" many would not have had a shot at network TV.
