Im a metal head from UK listen to Sabbath Slayer Anthrax etc but I also listen to other music and this track is one of my favourites , its a beautifully crafted up lifting song so well executed by the band . Now I play my metal through a big Yamaha Amp and floorstanding speakers to get concert volume and feel and this track sounds lovely through them

I met her about a year later and she always made me laugh! She passed away last year in Florida where her and husband Roni were living. One night we were messaging about all the fab music from the 80s!. I knew she had cancer. But was shocked at her passing a few weeks later.

Thank god for the internet, I use to search, radio stations after radio station just to listen to this song. I can't request for it because I didn't know what the title of it was.

[@just-ice7369]

reminds me of summer 1982 going to the school discos and drinking cans of beer before we got tot the disco ,when Zoom was played we'd pluck the courage up and ask girl to dance, Great days when we were young innocent teens living in a carefree No Hi Tech no Net or cell phones laptops ,we would have our ghetto blasters or a Walkman that was the hi tech and a video player , the 1980's what a decade
