I got to see him in 2003 in a little free setting at the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Your Love is my favorite 80s song of all time. If you want a great blend of 80s style pop and rock, listen to The Outfield. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) One of the YouTube channels I like is the Professor of Rock (official one and VEVO one) by Adam Reader. Adam interviewed Tony Lewis about 'Your Love' and the makings of the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkAqu9BQ1Zk Edited October 20, 2020 by RushFanForever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I loved their second album the best. Bangin. Not a weak track on it. But it did not do nearly as good as Play Deep. I saw them live once. They opened for Night Ranger in 1987. They were very good live as well. I know Spinks passed away several years ago. Sad to see this news. 62 is far too young.

edhunter Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 I've played and sang Your Love in several bands, and also Since You've Been Gone at one gig in 2001. Ballbusters... I always loved the 3 part "Try to stop my hands..." part in Your Love. It contains a vocal diminished chord. Not very common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds very similar to the debut - the songs are similarly constructed, but the production is a little more refined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
