I always wondered the cause for their demise was it they lacked talent to come up with another song or album, issues with band members, sudden success going to their heads, or perhaps they see what a cesspool Hollywood is and decided they want nothing to do with it.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

ok- I am thinking most don't qualify.

The Romantics also had a hit with that one that goes " I hear.....the secrets that you keep......when you're talking in your sleep."

Sugarloaf had an even bigger hit with "Green-eyed lady".

April Wine had more than just one hit. Roller. Just Between You and Me. I Like to Rock. Good band.

Some 70 OhW I can think of....Lee Michaels - You know What I mean ( Been 14 days since I don't know when.....I just saw her with my best friend do you know what I mean.)

What About Ace- How Long has this Been Going On.

Player- Baby Come Back

and Thankfully David Soul with only one but it is the shmarmiest kryptonite of all time - Don't Give Up on Us baby........arghhhhhhh

A lot of different reasons I believe. Read about the history of the Grass Roots. The music also has to fit the times. Alan

Tommy Tutone had two hits although the second was kind of minor.

Trying to remember the name....but had the line spoken what sounded like into a phone if I remember "...I heard that your daddy died. Six stories was a long way to fall".

Cheap Date ?


tdbob- yep nailing it. I remember some moms being upset with SVB lyrics.

Pilot - isn't that now the Ozempic song? And what exactly was 96 tears referencing..... according to some ? lol

The Tokens "The lion Sleeps at Night". They had a lot of legal troubles over the vocals I think.

I don’t believe Journey did either. The music industry sucks about as bad as government.

This group only had one hit in the US but they're well known in RSA. One of my favorite songs.

Yes they did.

Journey achieved their first top 20 single in 1979, while the band’s sixth album, Departure (1980), charted at number eight. The early ’80s saw the band peak their popularity, earning a number-one album, Escape, in 1981 and many successful singles.
