Fun fact. In the US Billboard Hot 100, this one-hit wonder of Eddy Grant peaked at #2 losing to two #1 songs which were "Flashdance...What A Feeling" by Irene Cara and "Every Breathe You Take" by The Police. On July 9, 1983, after 6 weeks at #1, "Flashdance...What A Feeling drops two notches to #3 as "Every Breath You Take climbs two notches to top the Billboard Hot 100 preventing this song to top it all off.

Imagine, if you will: A young man in his early 20's, away from home, installing 'cable TV' a new kind of media in Brockton, Mass. It is 1983 and your arrival is greeted as akin to the Second Coming & the Good Humor Man when your van rambles down the street. One morning, upon glancing at the day's work orders, the address that jumps out at you is- Electric Ave. Yes, I LIVED the 80's!

I remember when it was just starting to get play. It was spring 1982, and I was on a choir tour in Detroit. My friend and I were listening to an FM station one evening, and they announced a new song just hitting the airwaves. After a few bars, we stood up and started dancing. Maren and I loved it! A few months later, the airplay was easily nationwide. I just played it here in the post acute center I'm in to feel stress after sepsis. Ouch.
