One of the great 80s dance jams. I still jam out to this when I hear it come on in the grocery store. Even though it was written by Diane Warren, DeBarge still pulled of an amazing performance and put on that magical touch that only androgynous 80s R&B pop stars can do. And yes they are complete Lionel Richie hacks…we’ll do Lionel some justice here soon don’t worry.
This is a promo for our church’s youth group. Both these jokers are in my band and they’ve done an incredible job capturing the glory of the 80s is this mock video.

Little known fact, the names in the song came from an incident at a party that Simon went to with his wife Peggy Harper. The host of the party called Paul “Al”, and Peggy “Betty”, inspiring Simon to write a song. And now you know…..
