#86 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown!
Welcome back to VJ Samsonite's top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown! Today we are presenting #86 of the top 100 countdown!And the song is...The Promise, by British new-wave trio When In Rome. Now this is one of the rare times when I will actually recommend the Razormaid mix of this song for dance party purposes, but for all else the original 12'' mix will do. When In Rome essentially were a one-hit-wonder (with this very song) consisting of vocalists Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann, along with keyboards player Michael Floreale. This song was released in 1988, it was their first single release from their self-titled album which peaked at #11 on the US charts. However, I should also mention they had another song which reached #90 (not quite my def. of a 2nd hit, but close) titled Heaven Knows. Many of you youngsters probably only know this song because it was on the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack, and closing credits in 2004 (much the same way the young generation seems to think that Wham!'s Wake Me Up Before You Go Go was made for the Zoolander soundtrack, but actually it existed many years prior to that in a little decade we elders like to refer to as the 80's). Enough said, enjoy the song, and stay tuned for #85!
