HANDS DOWN - Im still in love with this band! Excellent 80's band! Great song, great 80's video!More info on the band:
The Producers formed in 1979 in Atlanta, Georgia as Cartoon (less Kyle). They jammed with Kyle on New Year's Eve 1979/80 and the 4 formed The Producers in January. After three months playing together, they went to New York, auditioned with CBS, and got their first recording contract. They signed with Epic/Portrait in August of 1980 (Interestingly, the debut album cover says CBS/Portrait). By November they had an LP's worth of new music and went into the studio to record the debut album. Two months later it was released (in January 1981)! They did 340 shows in 14 months during 1981/82!!!
Do you remeber when MTV was on the cutting edge and many of us were fortunate enough to be exposed to great music like this? Now, MTV is a vast wasteland.

i don't know if i ever heard this in the early 1980s. saw it on classic vh1 a few years ago. great sound. we really took for granted how models&model-like women looked and acted so good in the 1980. models are gross-looking now.

this band did not get the attention they should've, but you can still give it to 'em now. this is one of a number of great songs they did.

I love the harmonizing towards the middle, it's amazing. And how can you not love a band with a key-tar!
