Change

European-American collaborations were not uncommon during the disco and post-disco eras. Change are among the most noteworthy international acts to spring up during the early '80s. Change is most commonly associated with 'The Glow of Love', a 1980 single featuring Luther Vandross over a wistful Chic-like production. The group released 11 other charting singles, as well as six charting albums, two of which peaked in the Top Ten of Billboard's RnB Albums chart.

Loose Ends

One of the most successful UK soul bands of the 1980's, Loose Ends first hit the charts in 1985 with 'Hanging on a String' which went to number one in the USA and hit the national top 10 in the UK. More hits followed on both sides of the Atlantic with 'Magic Touch', 'Slow Down' and 'Watching You (Watching Me)'. In 1990 two of the original members, Jane Eugene and Steve Nichol, left the band and were replaced with Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman, who joined founding member Carl McIntosh, and who have now brought Loose Ends back to overwhelming demand.
