I've always thought Missing Persons made really fun music, and I see that no one has mentioned perhaps their most notable acheivement – two members of the band have appeared in full-nudity, hard-core porn pictures. :) I love how all my music reference books refer to Dale Bozzio as a “former Playboy bunny”.

I think Stephanie Mills' voice is an acquired taste. I've always liked her stuff, but it definitely has an edge.

Ronnie Milsap has an AWESOME voice. He just didn't get to show it off as much on the songs he sang. His range, though, is pretty phenomenal.

I've always had a soft spot for the Millions Like Us single, and I just ordered the CD used from Amazon so I can have a good copy of the song.

There are a number of songs here that I really wish I could download. I've always wanted to hear “Go For Soda” and “Mistrusted Love” in particular.

It was one of my favorites back in my teen years in the 80s. (My neighbor had it and I'd listen to it non-stop when I was over there babysitting his kids.) A few years ago I searched out my own copy and when I was listening to it, something about one of the singers kept reminding me of Julia Fordham. I dug a little deeper and discovered that he had sung on one of Julia's albums! I own the CD by Millions Like Us. It was one of my favorites back in my teen years in the 80s.

Love all five of the singles, as well as the entire SPRING SESSION M album and their first EP. The dance mix version of "GIVE" that appears on their Classic Masters CD compilation is killer! I'm chomping at the bit for the 1981 movie LUNCH WAGON to be issued on DVD, although I'm not holding my breath (they appeared in this cheesecake comedy flick before they hit it big).<br><br>Not only did Kim Mitchell's "GO FOR SODA" get a bit of airplay on the rock stations in Chicago back in the day, but his (obviously non-charting) song "PATIO LANTERNS" did as well... both cool tunes!

And the jazz records, i.e. "Miles Davis Quintet," last name of the band leader. Comps I file at the end of each genre, and soundtracks get their own section. It's not perfect, but it has been working for me for a good number of years now.

I had never heard the song before building my collection and now I can't get enough of it. I honestly didn't realize that so many people knew “Go For Soda”.
