I remembered the name Danny Wilson (probably because I'd seen the record a lot when flipping through dusty lp bins), but I'd forgotten completely the song they were famous for. That's NICE.

According to my Joel Whitburn Billboard book, "Just Got Lovely" was a top forty hit, yes.

re: Scandal - you've probably heard "Goodbye to You" before, even if you didn't realize who it was by.

Two lesser known Scandal songs that are great:

Is she still married to McEnroe?
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
You're right I heard "Goodbye to you"! I checked and it only hit #65 though. There's been plenty of acts listed here who even had more than one top 10, such as Glass Tiger and Corey Hart. (x-post)
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:19 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I knew that about Glass Tiger and Corey Hart w/o even looking it up, but I was trying to be non-pedantic at the time.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
Surprised "Goodbye to You" charted that low, though. I hear it more often now than even "The Warrior".
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:24 (twelve years ago) link
Can't believe Corey Hart had nine Top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100!
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:44 (twelve years ago) link
Wow, I didn't realize it was NINE! I only remembered Sunglasses, Never Surrender and I Can't Help Falling in Love With You.

Nine? Crikey. I only know Sunglasses and Never Surrender.

Another Miami freestyle station favorite, but, alas, not a Top 40 hit. Neither was the sublime "Just An Illusion."
