Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora - When the Rain begins to fall 1984
Like the sand can seep right through
your fingers so can all your days
as those days go by
you'll have me there to help you find
the way I feel with you
I know it's gotta last forever
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
and I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
and when the rain begins to fall
I'll be the sunshine in your life
you know that we can have it all
and everything will be alright
Time goes by so fast
you've got to have a dream to just hold on
all my dreams of love
began with the reality of you
and I believe
that all our dreams will last forever
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
and I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why
and when the rain begins to fall
I'll be the sunshine in your life
you know that we can have it all
and everything will be alright
Though the sun may hide
we still can see the light
that shines for you and me
we'll be together all that we can be
And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
and I will catch you if you fall
The Thompson Twins were a British pop group that were formed in April 1977 and disbanded in May 1993. They achieved considerable popularity in the mid 1980s, scoring a string of hits in the UK, the US and around the globe. The band was named after the two bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson in Hergé's comic strip, The Adventures of Tintin. A predominately synthpop trio.
The single, "Lay Your Hands On Me", was released in late 1984 and saw the band attempt to build on their success. The single made the US Top 10 (and #13 in the UK), but by then the trio had peaked.
*Odyssey
New York born band famous for their contribution to the disco era.
Odyssey
The New York born Lopez sisters, Lillian, Louise and Carmen Lopez formed Odyssey back in the mid sixties. By 1968 Carmen Lopez had left the group and was replaced by Tony Reynolds. He also left the group after the first album and was replaced by Bill McEachern. Now stood the final line-up for Odyssey, who had their first hit in 1977 with Native New Yorker.
Further hits followed including the disco classics, Use It Up And Wear It Out (1980), If You're Looking For A Way Out (1980), Going Back To My Roots (1981) and Inside Out (1982), all reaching the top ten in the charts.
By the beginning of 1983, the group had disbanded and moved on to other projects, although none attained the success achieved with Odyssey.
I heard you on the wireless back in 52
lying awake intent a tuning in on you
if I was young it didn't stop you coming through
They took the credit for your second symphony
re-written by machine and new technology
and now I understand the problems you can see
Oh oh -- I met your children
oh oh -- what did you tell them
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
pictures came and broke your heart
we can't rewind we've gone too far
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
we hear the playback and it seems so long ago
and you remember the jingle used to go
Oh oh -- you were the first one
oh oh -- you were the last one
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
in my mind and in my car
we can't rewind we've gone too far
Video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
in my mind and in my car
we can't rewind we've gone too far
(Instrumental)
Video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
we can't rewind we've gone too far
pictures came and broke your heart
look I'll play my VCR
Oh radio star
Oh radio star
Video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
