Friday, February 28, 2014. Smokey Robinson - Snapshot - 'Being With You'. Read on to discover more, no really…it’s a ripping yarn! 8216;Being With You’ entered both U.S. and U.K. charts during March of ‘81. The song peaked at pole position on the British charts mid year (for two weeks/ OZ#14), but was held off reaching top spot on the U.S. charts by none other than Kim Carnes with ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ - a tinge of irony in that lot. A FlockOfSeagulls AKA Rhys Jones. Sunday, February 23, 2014. In October of...

Thursday, January 30, 2014. Bangles - An Eternal Flame Burns Bright. Following a summer ‘87 tour, supported in part by Australia’s Hoodoo Gurus (see future post), the Bangles opted to explore something other than preparing immediately for their next full album. They contributed backing vocals on the Hoodoo Gurus hit ‘Good Times’ (#36 in mid ‘87). In September of ‘89, the Bangles cut short their world tour to “go on hiatus”, after almost 9 years together. Soon after it was announced ...By the late 90s, th...

Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Guess Who Just Got Back Today. Raised from the depths of obscurity, it's the return of Retro Universe. Two and half years is a long enough sabatical. I could claim a prolonged case of writer's block, but not with any conviction. The lure of the soundtrack to my youth has proven simply irresistible. It's time to once more recapture the spirit and vitality of your youth via the elixir of classic hits. Here's a dash of Flash.& the Pan from 1983.'Waiting For A Train'. Frankie Goes...

http://rqsretrouniverse.blogspot.com/2014/06/squeeze-too-cool-for-cats.html
Sunday, June 8, 2014. Squeeze - Too Cool For Cats. In Deptford, South London during March of 1974, friends Chris Difford (guitar/vocals), and Glenn Tilbrook (vocals/guitar) started a song writing partnership, with Difford handling lyrics, and Tilbrook the music. After accruing a repertoire of material they recruited the services of Jools Holland (keyboards), Harry Kakoulli (bass), and Paul Gunn (drums), and adopted the group name Squeeze (named after a Velvet Underground album).
