“I was all alone and love was overdue”
This column’s amber neon LOST GEM is “This Is For You” from The System- The Pleasure Seekers LP.
Two albums removed from their debut which featured mega-hit “You Are In My System,” The System (Writer/Singer Mic Murphy and Producer/Keyboardist David Frank) had begun to shed their cooler “Electro-Soul” image for warmer analog vibes.
We hadn’t yet gotten to “Dont Disturb The Groove” the absolute height of this sound – but this surprisingly intimate song is certainly the set-up for it. I’d bet a couple of future Foreign Exchange members listening to their radios in 1985 named Phonte and Nicolay felt the same way.
How do YOU feel ST’ers? Is this for you?
