Scandal - The Warrior

This month marks the thirtieth anniversary of The Warrior, the only full length album from Scandal from the 80’s. After the promotional tour ended, Patty Smyth left the group and the rest disbanded until 2004. Fueled by a hit single, this one spent forty-one weeks on the US Billboard Album chart and peaked at number 17.

Franke and the Knockouts - Below the Belt

Today (May 23rd) marks the 30th anniversary of Below the Belt, the second album by Franke and the Knockouts.

The New Jersey band was fronted by singer/songwriter Franke Previte, whose most known work may be the two songs he co-wrote for the film Dirty Dancing - “(I've Had) The Time of My Life" and "Hungry Eyes". The Knockouts were made up of Leigh Foxx (bass), Billy Elworthy (guitars), Claude LeHenaff (drums), and Blake Levinsohn (keyboards).
