They also hit the Top 10 there with their previous single "Big Fun", which surprisingly did not chart nationally (at least not on the pop chart)... IIRC it was also used in a beer commercial back in the day. I definitely remember the Inner City track getting lots of airplay in Chicago.

I've seen a couple of CD+G compilation disc images for download out there on the internet.

I nearly forgot to stop by... what with all the nothing I'm doing these days... ;-). Anyway, I thought the week started off a wee bit slow with Ian and those Icehouse singles though I do remember and liked Electric Blue quite a bit, but otherwise definitely in my top two of posts music-wise. And I have to agree with you about the "Detroit Techno" sound -- it would've fit well in the Trainspotting soundtrack which is mostly Euro techno. I hear the slightest bit more R&B in Inner City's vocals than you might find in any European techno but not really enough to me to make them distinct genres. Sorry I'm so late to the party this week!

I do remember hearing Icehouse "Great Southern Land" frequently on a local station back in the early 80's, I guess the program director must have been a fan because apparently the single didn't chart on any of Billboard's charts. And, if next week is the final week of the letter I, that means an appearance by my all time favorite recording artist, Donnie Iris!!

I left out the other two bottom feeders because they were duets that I already talked about back in A with Patti Austin, but glanced over this one. Nice catch. It will be the first one in next week's post! You're right Crockett – it does.

I believe it hit number #58 on the charts. Doesn't James Ingram's “There's No Easy Way” belong on this post. I believe it hit number #58 on the charts.
