Eighties Radio. I am Tuscatto from

9
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.119
Tuscanto, Win Chang, hoping you
had a great we so far. You

10
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.400
know we're getting closer to twenty twenty
two, and of course we can't do

11
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:08.239
the show without the man who is
only a legend and a myth in his

12
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.840
own mind, a man who has
had more fights with glam metal frontmen than

13
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.159
their own bands did with themselves.
He has been seen late at night trying

14
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.760
to find a phone booth just to
call nine seven six numbers. But to

15
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.719
us here at Back to the Eighties
Radio, we call him the Chang.

16
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:33.079
Hello, everybody in radio land,
My good partner right here, the greatest

17
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:38.280
Italian I've ever known since I opened
my first can of chipboyrd and automatically I

18
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.159
thought that the Italian people were great
cooks, better cooks and my parents.

19
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:49.239
Today we're going to be talking about
dance music of the eighties. So what

20
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.959
I want to do first of all
is give a shout out to everybody,

21
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.359
starting with the chang, of course, but giving a shout out to all

22
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.959
the people who are helping us reach
our listener mark from around the world,

23
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.719
places like the US of course here
in our own home country. Thank you,

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.760
every single one of you that are

Thank you to the UK, Germany, Australia, Mexico, the Republic

memories from the eighties. Start Back to

45
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:30.360
the Eighties. Welcome back to Back
to the Eighties, to Skano and chang

46
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.959
right here at the driver's seat and
we are taking you into the eighties.

47
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:40.079
Tonight we are going to talk about
dance music. Now, I'm going to

48
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.399
let my partner, my comrade,
my my, my buddy take the lead,

49
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.160
because if you know who I am
and you've seen what I look like,

50
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.000
you know that the Chang was not
a chat chaw boy back in the

51
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.319
eighties. Now, I'll tell you
a little the deepest I went back into

52
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.240
cha chaw music back in the eight
These was some of our Montabello high school

53
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.519
parties. Or if I went to
Hollywood with my buddies, they used to

54
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.800
like to go to Florentine Garden.
Yes, and if your buddies must have

55
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.680
been listeners, my buddies were a
bunch of wusses because they would just like

56
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:23.000
get their barbershop shortsleeve shirts and roll
them up and iron they go. That

57
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.519
was the very first time that I
had a long Eyeland iced tea, and

58
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:35.240
I stuck with you ever sent man, this drink replicates this evening penny loafers

59
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:41.600
and weak ass drinks like this.
Needless to say, you stuck around and

60
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.000
you loved it. Now, the
only reason I did stick around at any

61
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.240
of those type venues, and that
was probably the only one. Now The

62
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.720
only reason I would stick around at
any of these dance gigs that I went

63
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.560
to with my homies was because I
got very lucky with the ladies because I

64
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:02.360
had long, flowing, beautiful long
hair, and I often didn't like to

65
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.160
wear a shirt underneath my leather jacket. Well, you know, here on

66
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.759
the show on Back to the Eighties
Radio, we've talked about many different genres

67
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.600
of music. The only one that
we haven't touched on yet is of course

68
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.279
dance music and hip hop and hip
hop. But we are going to so

69
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:24.120
those of you who loved and continue
to love hip hop music from the eighties

70
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.800
stick around because there's a lot more
on Back to the Eighties. But the

71
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:33.240
eighties saw the emergence of electronic dance
music and you know, new wave and

72
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:38.399
also as of course, modern rock. But you got to remember that as

73
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:44.279
disco fell out of fashion in the
decades early years, genres such as post

74
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.240
disco, the Italo disco, which
is the Italian disco, eurodisco, the

75
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:53.399
hell became more popular. Now in
the nineteen eighties are commonly remembered for an

76
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:59.560
increase of digital recordings. The eighties, among being great with music, I

77
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:05.680
kind of do blame them for the
fall of bands using analog instruments or you

78
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:13.240
know, the guitar, the drums, the bass, actual instruments without being

79
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.959
in a little box and then you
tapping on a button and it plays everything

80
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.480
for you. Right, But a
similar form like synthesized rock, right,

81
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:26.879
it cheapens the music right well,
but nevertheless it's still music right for maybe

82
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.120
for a different, different group of
people that maybe we weren't into so much

83
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:35.360
in those days. Also during the
eighties, several major electronic genres were developed,

84
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:42.120
including of course electro techno, remember
techno and remember house music, freestyle

85
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.279
and I road dance. I mean, it was all rising in popularity during

86
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.920
especially during the nineties, and then
way beyond and then I don't know what

87
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:55.920
happened, But an interesting fun fact
for you guys. In twenty ten,

88
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.519
a survey conducted by the digital broadcaster
Music Choice. They pulled over eleven thousand

89
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:09.319
European participants and they revealed that the
nineteen eighties was the most favored tune decade

90
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.959
of the last forty years. Wow, so I thought that was heavy duty.

91
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.000
And in the latter half of the
eighties, then you get teen pop,

92
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.360
right, you get that first wave
with bands like of Course New Edition.

93
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.560
You got groups like New Kids on
the Block and individual artists like of

94
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.480
Course Boy George, which was from
way before that, Laura Brannigan, even

95
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.879
Lisa Lisa No, Lisa Lisa Bengals, Paul Abduel, Stacey Q, Tiffany,

96
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.159
Debbie Gibson, and of course Expose. The top ten of the eighties

97
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.399
dance hits included bands such as Believe
It or Not, the B fifty twos

98
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.000
with love Shack. I never imagined
that people were dancing to the Love Shack

99
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.960
because I hated that song to death
when I was a team. Oh yeah,

100
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.679
people dance to that like Crazy That
and the group Madness, the Madness

101
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:11.279
of in nineteen seventy nine and One
Step Beyond. I remember getting cranked at

102
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.600
some of these backyard parties that were
dance parties when I was going to high

103
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:20.000
school. I don't know if you
are familiar with Lisa Lisa and the Cold

104
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.720
Jam. Yeah, but I have
to attribute the craze and the movement as

105
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.519
strong as it became, probably rests
upon the shoulders of Prince, because I

106
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.759
think not only was Prince a badass
rock and roll guitar player, a phenomenal

107
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.559
guitar player, a great writer,
a man of many faces in music.

108
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.679
But he kind of started that sounding
off of the dance craze where he made

109
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.639
it look sexy for guys to be
a little bit more feminine in the way

110
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:54.159
they dressed to where blouse or the
way that they moved to where blouse is

111
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.879
dude was hot. Then you have
bands that he started off the time Apollonius

112
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.679
at Abollonia, Paula Abdul, I
mean, Missus Chang resembled Paula Abduel.

113
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.600
The first time I saw missus Chang, I had to bet my buddy twenty

114
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:15.039
bucks. You should know you should
they show up Facebook picture of your wife

115
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.840
when she was younger so and then
put it next to Paula Abduel. You

116
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.200
know what I will do that.
I will try to do that tonight.

117
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.639
I'll have to get my wife drunk
to find some pictures. There were including

118
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:30.080
there were some bands that I never
considered dance music, but they cut out

119
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:31.279
of this list, and I want
to share a few of those with you.

120
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.759
They let me see if I agree
with you. There's something I do

121
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.240
consider dance music, of course,
and there's something that I didn't or music

122
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.480
that you could groove to. Definitely, let me shoot a few of them

123
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.279
out there for you, earth Wind
and Fire with Let's Groove. Of course,

124
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.879
right they're seventies, so right,
right, but Let's Groove as an

125
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.320
eighty song. Yeah, So then
you get bands like Cooling, the Gang

126
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.960
with Celebration, and then you have, of course individual art that I didn't

127
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.159
really consider to be dance music,
although people loved him love to dance to

128
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.320
it. For example, Cindi Lauper
with girls Just Want to Have Fun.

129
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:15.279
What a ridiculous song, but it
was a fun video Lipps Incorporated with Funky

130
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.320
Town that came out as number one
that, although was a seventy nine song,

131
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.120
I believe, was released in eighty, well the end of seventy nine

132
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.200
and eighty. So you can say
the same about the sugar Hill Gang.

133
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.840
Yeah. Technically you can dance to
any song, any music you can dance

134
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.879
that doesn't make it we're talking about
the dance genre. So I don't really

135
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.120
agree with the whole list that they
made up here, some m I do.

136
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:43.200
For example, they push it from
Salt and Peppa. Oh yes,

137
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.799
I was going to mention Salt and
Peppa I bet you didn't even know I

138
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:46.679
knew who they were. I was
going to mention them. No, I

139
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.360
thought you just knew that they were
condiments. No, I just knew that

140
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.720
they were hot. I would say
that when you were maybe the early let's

141
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.639
say eighty to eighty three, let's
say, and you were going just to

142
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.799
a coup, but your friends to
Florentine Gardens, when you had songs coming

143
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.879
up from Stacy Q like two of
Hearts. This is the one and only

144
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:13.200
back to the Eighties radio. And
this is Don Quixote from Magazine sixty on

145
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.440
the one and only Back to the
Eighties Radio on k Hits ninety two point

146
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.559
five. No no, no,
no, no, no, no,

147
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:33.960
no no no, I ever wish
you could go back to the eighties with

148
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.919
the crazy clothes and those wacky hair. Dues. Well, let Tescano and

149
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:46.600
Chang transport you back in time,
back to the eighties. I'm too sixty

150
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:58.279
four, My love to sixty four, My love Love's going to lead these

151
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.840
two cats. I mean these guys, man, these guys were buffed out,

152
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.120
bald headed dudes. These guys look
like bouncers at an event that was

153
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.039
a trippy video. I gotta hand
it to you. It was weird because

154
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.080
you look at these two guys and
you think these guys would beat the hell

155
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.600
out of you, but they would
probably just cuddle you and hug you.

156
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.440
Yeah, they would be like,
ah, I just walk to spoon with

157
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.720
you. You know, they would
put your hair over their head as they

158
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.120
cuddle with you. That would be
great, you know what I mean,

159
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.480
because I would have to put my
special shampoo and conditioner on when makes me

160
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.200
smell like root beer. You are
listening to Back to the Eighties radio if

161
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.519
you just joined us, we are
talking about dance music in the eighties.

162
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.799
But we have a very special surprise
for you coming up. We have Laurie

163
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:50.000
Miller from the original Expose And so
I'm not gonna give it absolutely so we're

164
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.159
not gonna give away too much.
In the meantime, chain there was so

165
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:58.960
much dance music going on in the
eighties. How about Kenny Loggins with Footloose.

166
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.080
He was on this or he is
on this list that I was reading.

167
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.320
I can't I just can't consider No, it's not dance, not dance.

168
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.120
You can dance to it, but
it's not dance genre. You know,

169
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.919
you could put that in the Tom
Cruise kind of category, you remember,

170
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.799
with the risky business kind of something
like that. That's a Tom Cruise

171
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.080
movie. Now I've got an artist
for you, a band, and let

172
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.519
me let me know if you agree
that this is somewhat kind of the dance

173
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.759
craze. Men Without Hats we could
dance. They wait want two. The

174
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.799
video for safety Dance from Men Without
Hats was a creepy video. You gotta

175
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.440
admit it was like a in the
Renaissance era era, but it was also

176
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.399
like an a fair just weird character
scaryware. It was a scary video.

177
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.200
It was especially when the little person
came on. You're like, well,

178
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.799
I don't know, I don't trust
that little Nidget there. You're doing some

179
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.679
kind of crazy things there. And
that guy with long hair, I was

180
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.759
like, I thought that was a
guy from the in excess. When that

181
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.600
video came out, that shows you
what I knew back then. My mind

182
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.879
was in the medal and my medal
was on the mind. What about Rick

183
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.240
James with super freak Dude? Would
you consider that all dance? I would

184
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.600
consider that dance all the way kind
of a funk a dalek, just like

185
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:20.840
George Clinton kind of that funk a
Dalek Spring that they brought into dance music.

186
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.120
I would yeah, I would totally
say I would put him in there.

187
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.240
That's why, like like I brought
up Prince. I think Prince started

188
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.840
off. He started off the band
Abylonia and her group, and then we

189
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.200
have the great Expose. Now,
the funny thing is I met one of

190
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:45.440
the gals from Expose who was a
sister of my former brother in law's homie

191
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.639
from Santa Fe Springs Homie. That's
right, we're from the Malario and Uh.

192
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:52.600
I went to a party and I
had met her. I think the

193
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.840
band was just kicking off, but
everybody was into the dance, dance crazy.

194
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.360
And I remember I made a comment, I thought, man, Expose

195
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.960
has got to be the hottest three
women I've ever seen in any musical band,

196
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.919
rock or not rock, right right, And then she looked at me

197
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.279
and she stared and gazed into my
eyes and said, I love your hair.

198
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.799
Here, could you get me a
refill? And then she walked away

199
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.080
and came back. That sounds that's
my story. It sounds of do you

200
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.679
think about that? Thank you?
There are bands that are in this list

201
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:33.799
which are also not really the dance
genre. However, they made it big

202
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:38.720
in the dance genre list. One
of those is soft Sell with Tainted Love

203
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.759
was actually the band soft Sell.
Yes, I did hate whether they were

204
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.279
dance or not. Then you had
Mars That's m A R R S With

205
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:55.519
Pump Up the Volume, followed by
Techtronic with pump Up the Jam. Now

206
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.519
you gott admit that was a very
popular dance song back then still is.

207
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.159
Yeah, I remember that. You
didn't think I knew that? Come on,

208
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.319
missus chang. Oh, she loved
the dance music. That was one

209
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:07.960
of her complaints though, She goes, I fell in love with a bad

210
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.160
boy, and yes, everybody,
I am a bad boy. But I

211
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.440
didn't dance. And I told her
that, you know, on one of

212
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.759
the first occasions that we started talking. Hey, look, I don't dance.

213
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:19.799
What you see is what you get. I'm a rocker. I'll get

214
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.960
in the pit, I'll slam somebody
have a good time. I drink whiskey

215
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.279
straight. I like to check out
chicks. I like to party. Oh

216
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.559
and every now and then I like
to get in a good brawl. So

217
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.519
if you want to go to a
dance club, you better go out with

218
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:40.880
one of my other buddies who suffered
from woo see ITAs, I've got a

219
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.240
band right here for you. Frankie
goes to Hollywood. Oh you consider them

220
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.720
part of that dance crate back in
the day when when when people would start

221
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:59.559
dancing. Now that I like when
he did that, really, I thought,

222
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.240
Wow, this guy could sing.
Yeah, now that's a plant when

223
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.920
the song start, Oh my god, this song sucks. Now do you

224
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.960
have the relax don't do it shirt
really tight that you wear sometimes? No,

225
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.920
no, no, but I did
make underwear out of it, and

226
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.119
yeah, periodic. You remember the
Gap Band, of course, I mean,

227
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:19.799
dude, remember the Gap Band.
I mean that. I think they're

228
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.720
one band that came in from the
night the seventies, the late seventies,

229
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:29.160
and I think, to me,
that's the band that captivated the sound of

230
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.960
the eighties dance craze, you know, because they came out kind of like

231
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.440
with that old school where you could
picture an old cholo and an old cholo

232
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.960
busting out on dance moves. But
they came out with the remember the rhyding

233
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.839
stones on their cowboy hats and their
fluorescence, and the Gap Band got everybody

234
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.720
to dance. It doesn't matter what
culture, it doesn't matter what ethnicity you

235
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.480
were. It made you get up
and dance, just like Stacy Q.

236
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:57.839
Remember Stacey Q? Oh yeah,
who can forget? With two of hearts?

237
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.480
And it was Stacy you And also
Shannon, remember that, let the

238
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:07.119
music play. Tina Marie she passed
away. Yeah, and also and and

239
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.519
even you know one that is still
around today, still, you know,

240
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.319
becoming a mom in her fifties is
Janet Jackson. Oh she's freaking kill her

241
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:21.079
too? Good lord sexy as hell. Hold on a second, I think

242
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.680
we have a phone call. Let's
see who can lame one? Here?

243
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:30.480
A phone call back to the Agies
radio. Who is this? Oh,

244
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:37.880
Merry Christmas to you boys. I've
been watching on my camera to see if

245
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:44.440
you boys have been good or naughty. Let's said, I have a swig

246
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:49.640
of some sailor Gary because I've got
the ems working double time. Because today's

247
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:57.680
kids are a bunch of pansies.
Woosie only play with electronical devices. Nobody

248
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:03.400
plays with a hat, is bro
TiO. Nobody's asking for a barbie?

249
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:10.079
And if they are, she needs
to be pregnant. Who Well, I'll

250
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.920
tell you what's happen there. We
have, we'll have to. I don't

251
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:18.279
want to talk to you and that
other non nim Roddy's a bad boy.

252
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.799
I want to talk to Lori.
Okay, let me put you on hold

253
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:27.359
while we get Laurie Miller from Expose. Here, I'm back to the eighties.

254
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:37.480
Oh wait, don't worry. I've
got some missiletoe to smoke. This

255
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.559
is back to the eighties radio.
And as promised today, we have on

256
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.519
the show. That's right, we
have Laurie Miller from the original group Expose

257
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:52.000
that by the way, Laurie,
I hadn't The Slightest Idea was formed in

258
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.079
eighty four, but it was formed
in Miami, in Florida, your home

259
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:59.519
state. Yeah yeah, we're all
three of us were out of Miami,

260
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:03.960
and the record label too, Pentera
Records, that it first started on is

261
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.319
right downtown Miami. I can't thank
you enough for being on the show with

262
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.640
us. Laurie is known in the
industry as one of the original members and

263
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:15.640
creators of the pop hit You Guessed
At Expose and their debut album Exposure is

264
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.960
documented that the Rolling Stone Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame History book for having

265
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:26.240
more top ten hits than the Beatles, or the Supremes had on their debut

266
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.400
album. Now that's a shocker for
me. Talk to us a little bit

267
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.440
about that. How does that make
you feel? It was great? It

268
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.559
was just I mean, the whole
thing was such a ride, and you

269
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.160
know, back then you're just you're
on it. So it almost like seems

270
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.599
like even more now to look back
on that and to realize that you were

271
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.000
part of such a great era of
music when it was so much family between

272
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.200
all the groups that came out of
Miami. Miami was really happening at that

273
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.160
time with freestyle music. I don't
even think it was dubbed freestyle quite yet.

274
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:57.400
I mean, I guess it was
when we were in it, but

275
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:02.440
I think it started with Shannon and
then moved on from there. You probably

276
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.000
know more than I do about that. Incredible to be part of a hit

277
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.720
record like point in a return where
you would walk into the club and have

278
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.400
sort of an outer body experience when
we would just go to visit and they

279
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:17.079
would put that song on and people
would just arms up in the air and

280
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:21.240
go nuts. We had a lot
less to worry about then, in spite

281
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:25.160
of all the challenges that that was
going on in the eighties and a lot

282
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.599
of craziness as well as every era, but it was a lot more simpler

283
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:33.519
time, a lot more yeah,
a lot more fun. Great. Everybody

284
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.119
was into going out and dancing.
We weren't afraid, we were you know,

285
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.720
everybody was just having a good time. Now, how does that make

286
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:45.680
you feel that today, twenty twenty
one, getting close almost there at the

287
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.839
border with twenty twenty two, tons
of stations are still playing your songs.

288
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.319
Recently we started playing it on k
Hits ninety two five, We started playing

289
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:00.960
point in a Return and that's when
which version, Well, there's too the

290
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:06.599
original, but I know the story
behind that absolutely. So Ali was Lewis's

291
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:11.000
girlfriend, our producer, Lewis Martinet
at the time, and so she was

292
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.119
in the studio just hanging out with
him. I was actually going to do

293
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:15.759
my own solo thing, and I
was originally brought in. I'll probably jump

294
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.319
in ahead. You probably have questions
for me, but I could originally be

295
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.119
the choreographer and the stylist for the
group because I was definitely wanted to do

296
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:27.480
my own thing and I was in
a top forty band called Ecstasy. So

297
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:32.359
Sandra was scouted by one of the
wives of one of the guys in my

298
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:37.839
band, Alex Vlobos Rosa saw her
at a club on the Hollywood Beach and

299
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.079
Sandra was supposed to come in and
sing point in a return, but she

300
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.960
never showed up, and Ali did
the scratch vocal and everybody loved it,

301
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:51.359
including me, so much that she
was pushing back the whole time. She

302
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.240
didn't want to be in the group, and she didn't. But I immediately

303
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:57.319
fell in love with Ali and felt
very protective because she was very innocent to

304
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:02.960
that whole world. She really was
her studious, intellectual type of girl,

305
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.400
you know, beautiful, gorgeous girl
with that beautiful bell tone soprano voice,

306
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:12.799
and so she sort of just got
cajoled into it and we ended up just

307
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:18.160
being this great trio. So it
wasn't really supposed to be Ali, but

308
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.799
it ended up being her, and
it was such a great version. I

309
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.400
just love it. She hates it. She thinks she sounds real nasal.

310
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.119
Of course, you know how we
are. Let me backtrack a little bit

311
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:34.200
with you, and let's go back
to before you started being famous. Who

312
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.680
who was Laura Miller at that time? Well, I came from a family

313
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:42.839
a very theatrical people. My mom
is an actress and a singer and a

314
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.759
dancer, and she was a producer
and a director. She did a lot

315
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:52.240
of theater and I remember going to
watch my mom star and all these musicals

316
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:59.079
and little you know, smaller like
equity b equity, can't I say equity

317
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:07.359
eligible theaters and for myself because I
was pretty quiet, tomboy girl, artistic,

318
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:08.640
very artistic and musical, but I
would think, I don't know,

319
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.079
how can she get up there in
front of all those people? And then

320
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.839
when I finally she put me in
my first show, which was Sweet Charity,

321
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.880
and I got to play a character, it was like I got it,

322
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.640
you know, like this is what
I want to do because I got

323
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.720
to be somebody else, which gives
you that freedom to be really big or

324
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:33.039
really or whatever the character calls.
Yeah, And I was always into music.

325
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.839
My mom used to be in a
group with four singers, and there's

326
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.039
pictures of me just standing by the
piano, like staring at the keys and

327
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.400
just so fascinated by music always.
And I grew up in that household full

328
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:52.720
of Frank Sinatra and Count Basie and
Nelson Riddle and Steven Edie gourmet and all

329
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:59.039
those Nancy Wilson and all those great
great vocalists, you know, with our

330
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:00.680
house was just filled with that kind
of music. So I've always been a

331
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:06.279
real big lover of jazz and and
then I begged to get play clarinet,

332
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:08.839
and I actually I played clarinet in
high school. I was first chair,

333
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.400
and I actually didn't start singing him
till I was in my twenties. Really,

334
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:17.599
and now that's if I had all
that ear training of playing a melody

335
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:21.640
because I was leading first chair and
clarinet, I think it really trained my

336
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:25.240
ear. Plus just growing up with
all that music and being kind of shy,

337
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:27.279
it was like kind of nice to
hide behind an instrument. I can't

338
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.079
believe that I used to be able
to read without even thinking about it.

339
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.559
It was just so easy. It
was just crazy. Isn't that crazy?

340
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.559
Right before coming on air, I
noticed that, and I know our listeners

341
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:44.039
cannot tell, but you are wearing
your MTV sweatshirt with some lovely butterflies there.

342
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:47.680
Talk to it. Let's go back
to MTV days really quick, so

343
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:52.480
we're fast forwarding now. Yeah,
did you have when you came out in

344
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.960
a video and you see your did
you see yourself there. Where was your

345
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.640
mind at during this whole period of
the MTV days? Did you ever imagine

346
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:06.200
you ever were going to reach that
hight? You know, I was always

347
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:11.759
very a career oriented. I really
love performing and love being on stage.

348
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.200
And I was a dancer first,
a train dancer, and it was actually

349
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:21.079
in dance class that they found me, actually Pantera Records, who was doing

350
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:26.200
Expose. I originally came to Pantera
because of another group called Techno Lust,

351
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.839
and they had a hit record with
Freddie why can't I think of his last

352
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.519
name, He'll kill Me? And
I was one of his girls. I

353
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:38.079
was spice Okay okay, and he
had a great record, and then they

354
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:41.279
were they were thinking about Expose,
and they asked me to choreograph it and

355
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.519
stylize the group because that was kind
of I had to have a lot of

356
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.839
theatrical background because I'd done a lot
with my mom and yeah, so that's

357
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.720
how I kind of got into it. And I remember, so I never

358
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.559
really you know, I mean,
when you're in the heat of the moment,

359
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.279
and I was in top forty bands, and I was doing corporate events

360
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.640
and I was just working. So
you're so busy and you're working towards a

361
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:06.680
goal. But I didn't really I
didn't know where it was going. Actually,

362
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:08.440
I just knew I loved working and
I wanted to be part of it.

363
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.240
But one thing that I thought about
it in a second moment ago when

364
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:17.240
you were speaking, that the first
time that I realized that we actually had

365
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:19.799
a hit record, because it took
about nine months. It was just like

366
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.799
having a child, right. We
had like all the test records, and

367
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.759
we go to all the clubs and
Lewis was out everywhere playing that song and

368
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:30.039
it was and I was even covering
it in my top forty band, Ecstasy.

369
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.880
And I remember hearing Point in a
Return where I was in my apartment

370
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.880
and I went home on balcony and
I saw this girl sitting in her car

371
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:42.319
was part jamming Point in No Return, and she waded through the whole song.

372
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.240
She was dancing in the front seat
till the song was over, before

373
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.039
she got out of the car and
came inside. And I thought, oh

374
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.880
my god, he had one of
those like surreal moments in your life at

375
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.359
that point. It was always kind
of like that. I remember always saying

376
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:57.839
it to the girls, like whenever
we go to clubs and they would put

377
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:02.319
this song on we were just I'm
into visit and they would play the song

378
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:03.880
and say we were there, and
people would go crazy. I wouldn't just

379
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:08.200
be like hang on a second,
you know, like, don't get crazy

380
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:12.440
yet. It's just one song.
But we actually did all the work with

381
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:17.400
Lewis to create that album, Exposure, and it was the original girls.

382
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:22.079
We worked from eighty three actually till
about the end of nineteen eighty seven,

383
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:25.440
and we worked a lot. We
would go out and do four or five

384
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:30.759
shows a weekend and just be packed
packed. I mean, it was notorious

385
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.200
that the fire department of the police
department was always there before we even started

386
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:40.200
the show because it was always over
capacity. Now I understand that you were

387
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.759
probably one of the busiest people there
because you had a lot more than just

388
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.559
to take care of yourself. Is
that correct? Yeah, it was because

389
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.279
if you've seen our pictures, you
won't see it on radio, but if

390
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.119
you can go to my website,
which is my name Laurie Miller dot com,

391
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.599
and there's tons of pictures and the
makeup and the hair was pretty full

392
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.799
on. It took us about six
hours to get ready, and so I

393
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.400
did everybody's hair and everybody's makeup,
and all the costumes were a lot of

394
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.839
them were hand painted. We had
a girl named Debbie Ohanian who had a

395
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:12.640
company called meet Me in Miami.
She still has our company, meet Me

396
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:17.079
in Miami, and she made a
lot of our costumes and then I would

397
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.359
paint them. And the hair was
just huge, you know. We would

398
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.839
we would get in the limo and
have to like slide down and sit real

399
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.319
low so our hair could fit inside
the car. Oh God, bless the

400
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.759
eighties for the big hair in the
aquani of the time. Right. Yeah.

401
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:36.079
The thing we didn't smoke cigarettes.
Oh yeah, we're walking fire hazard

402
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.440
there. And you know, it
wasn't only the gals, but I mean,

403
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:44.759
you attracted so many guys. The
group attracted so many guys because the

404
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:49.640
music was just that good. And
it did too, you know. And

405
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:52.880
here's what I tell a lot of
people, if you if you really focus

406
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.799
on eighties music, and this goes
across the board, it is still relevant

407
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:00.640
today, and it's still sounds fresh
today. As a matter of fact,

408
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:06.680
it sounds extremely fresh today because of
the one sided type of music that we

409
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:11.680
have today. So here comes eighties
music and you can bring yours into dance

410
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:17.640
parties. We the k Hits family
on the back to the eighties family.

411
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.680
A couple of us went to a
club, when was it about a month

412
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:27.079
and a half ago, called the
Totally Eighties Barring Grill in the in Orange

413
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:32.119
County. Well, I had never
gone, and I said, um,

414
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.880
okay, well we'll give it a
shot. You know, we were guests

415
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:40.720
of the owner. And when we
go in, guess what song was the

416
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.240
very first song? As soon as
we set sat down, they played the

417
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.440
song. I mean the club went
nuts and that was point of no return.

418
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:55.759
Wow, that's awesome. You know, La really put us on the

419
00:31:55.880 --> 00:32:00.240
map. Whenever we went out to
California, there was like a slew of

420
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:06.400
DJ's, I mean probably over five
hundred of them would all pull together and

421
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:10.359
put all their funds together to get
a venue and bring us out. Maybe

422
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:14.240
we were had maybe two or three
other acts. I remember we did one

423
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:17.400
with Stacy Q once remember her?
Oh yeah, yeah, two of Hearts

424
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:23.000
of course, and they every time
we did a show out there are numbers,

425
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:25.759
you know, it just it was
packed. They would bring like I

426
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.559
mean for us it was like five
thousand people and some in a smaller venue

427
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:34.680
was incredible for us at that time, and we were out there when we

428
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.920
actually got were told that we got
the album deal. So when you were

429
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:42.880
with the band, do you remember
when you started nineteen eighty three? So

430
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:46.920
eighty three, and then you were
with the group until when exactly so until

431
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:52.640
nineteen eighty seven, seven? Exactly
the date? It was probably the beginning

432
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.359
or something it was. It was
right around there. Because some people will

433
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:00.759
challenge me with that, but I
don't care whatever. You know, practically

434
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:06.559
the greatest time for Expose. Yeah, yeah, I remember big stations here

435
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:10.160
in Los Angeles that played you,
guys was Power one oh six. I

436
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:15.920
mean Kiss FM played you as well, but Power one oh six was responsible

437
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:21.240
for every high school to know about
you gals. And believe me, you

438
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.799
had a strong following in my high
school as well, in Santa Fe Springs

439
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:28.480
High School. A big shout out
to everybody listening from La County. Listen,

440
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:30.000
we're gonna take a quick break when
we come back. Laurie Miller is

441
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:37.640
going to keep going with us here
back to the eighties. Radio were laying.

442
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.079
That's because we had lived through this
decade. Yet you're listening to back

443
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:46.200
to the eighties. You are listening
to Back to the Eighties Radio. We

444
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:52.680
are talking to the ever so lovely
Laurie Miller from the original Expose. Thanks

445
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.480
Laurie once again for for being on
air with us. I feel like a

446
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.720
little giddy teenager here, you know, having somebody that I really admired from

447
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:06.839
back in my teenage music listening day. So thanks for being here so much.

448
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:08.800
It's a pleasure. I love talking
about it. It's just so many

449
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:13.760
good memories. Look, a lot
of people, including I won't mention his

450
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:17.440
name, but my co host.
You know, he's a hardcore metal guy.

451
00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:22.400
Okay, we're talking hardcore, but
he's an LA guy all of his

452
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.440
life, and he knows he felt
so bad that he couldn't be here today

453
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.920
with us on the interview. But
he always mentions to me, Hey,

454
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.159
MTV killed a radio star. By
the way, I just want to let

455
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.079
you know. He always reminds me
of that, and here I and here

456
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:38.800
you go. Yeah, but one
thing I always tell him, but you

457
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:43.920
know what, it also helped a
lot of other stars. And talk to

458
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:49.239
me a little bit about how the
advent of MTV helped you with that,

459
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.880
you know, with a recognition and
just getting to other places. First,

460
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.760
I want to tell you that,
you know, the sound of Expose is

461
00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:00.280
comprised of a lot of different artists, right, So we always had sex

462
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:06.519
or guitar solos and they were done
by Nuclear Valdez. It is a rock

463
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:13.639
band. George from Nuclear Valdez did
all those wonderful guitar solos and zep on

464
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:15.840
Love is Our Destiny. J Martin
from Ecstasy, my band that I was

465
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.599
in, he did. He wrote
that song with Alex and he did the

466
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:22.400
guitar solo on that. So just
as a note, you know, and

467
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:29.320
little side Betty writes singers and her
backup singers. I don't know if you're

468
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:32.199
familiar with Betty Wright, but it's
wonderful R and B soul singer. And

469
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.440
we had her girls singing with us
too in the studio on some of the

470
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.639
background vocals. So there was a
lot of And also Frosso was in Nuclear

471
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:45.519
reddes He was the one he came
with that dun dun dunn dundund sound.

472
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:50.800
It was Lewis And I think that's
another thing about Expose two. We had

473
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:54.800
such a strong Latin influence. I've
heard Anne of the new of the lineup

474
00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:58.360
now say, I don't know why
they call us the Latin band, and

475
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:02.519
it makes me go nuts because we
are totally Latin. I mean, Louis

476
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:07.199
is a Cuban, right, He's
from Cuba. Is Ali was Cuban.

477
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:09.519
I'm Italian and Jewish. I mean, come on, how Latin can?

478
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:15.079
And Sandra was from Puerto Rico.
So I mean, but our influence,

479
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:19.039
the musical influence is definitely. That's
why the music feels so good and it's

480
00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:23.119
so densable because it has all that
Latin rhythm to it in Latin beats.

481
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:28.039
So what I was going to say
about the the original group, we did

482
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.800
do a video, but I never
even got to see it because when all

483
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:37.599
that was coming into play, that's
when the new lineup happened. So we

484
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.719
were never shown. So they got
everything that we put in like that,

485
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:45.719
they got to go on for the
Grammys or the and they were on the

486
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:49.800
Soul Train, they were on all
those other shows that was already put together

487
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.079
for us. But they came onto
a moving train. It was already all

488
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:58.400
happening. It was already in motion. And somebody asked me once like,

489
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:00.679
so is it is it a little
bit of sour grapes? That you feel

490
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:05.719
like you missed out, you know, like the And honestly, it's not

491
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.519
because I've had a wonderful, beautiful
career and I've worked a lot, had

492
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:15.079
just amazing opportunities and just the time
of my life working and doing everything that

493
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:19.639
I've been doing, which you can
see on my website site. But it's

494
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:22.159
just the fact that you know,
the real stories has never been told.

495
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:28.679
Really, do you have anything in
the works as far as telling this trash

496
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:31.880
story? I do, and that's
the whole reason why I've recently, very

497
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:37.880
recently come back out and actually performed
for the first time and a show here

498
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:44.760
in Miramar I Love the eighties show
that I did with Shannon was there,

499
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:51.679
and Charlotte from I'm Fascinated by Original
Artist, John Menace from Nice and Wild

500
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.599
Singing Diamond Girl, Oh Nice,
Sir was there. So there was the

501
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:58.960
first time I came out, and
I really wanted to make it clear that

502
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:02.480
I was not there to throw any
shade on the group now because I really

503
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:07.079
appreciate how well they've done and that
they've taken it to the next level,

504
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:13.239
but just because I want to let
people know that there was another group that

505
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.360
had a lot to do with them
being where they are now, you know,

506
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:21.480
and really interesting story, and it's
an interesting story for them, so

507
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.519
I hope it helps them as well
as helps me to like tell this.

508
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:28.679
And plus I think, wouldn't it
be cool to go back in time and

509
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:32.280
see that and experience that and see
the hair and the costumes and the club

510
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:35.960
scene and the music and hear all
of that. I think it would just

511
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:42.280
be there's everything to it. There
is music and love and so much energy

512
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.639
and so much creativity and so much
heartbreak and drugs and you know, a

513
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:51.440
little bit of everything. Yeah.
Yeah, Sandro, who I love dearly,

514
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:53.360
is no longer with us too,
and a lot of that is because

515
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:58.159
of who she is, and also
because of what happened, you know,

516
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.800
and how she was influenced during that
time. I know that you are also

517
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:07.159
CEO and founder of Chica Productions.
You guys are known international. They talked

518
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:08.719
to us a little bit about what
you're doing on that side as well.

519
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:15.000
Actually, when I abruptly left the
group because I was so heartbroken and I

520
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:16.280
just felt like it would be better
for everybody that I left. When I

521
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:21.519
did, we had already finished the
album, so it was they were not

522
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:24.880
happy about that, but I hadn't
got already gotten a lot of recognition from

523
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:29.840
my choreography because I had choreographed the
original group and I did all the costuming

524
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:35.639
and makeup and hair and everything.
So I was offered to put dancers in

525
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:39.320
a new nightclub that was happening down
in Miami called Parallel Bar. And then

526
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:45.559
from that I ended up having about
eight different nightclubs that I was putting these

527
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:53.679
mute mystery creatures in sort of cirque
de sole on steroids, if that's possible.

528
00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:57.480
And so I had a club in
Montreal, and I had like a

529
00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:00.360
lot of underground clubs and we just
ended up going all over the place.

530
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:05.119
I had about forty forty five dancers
that worked with me, and it was

531
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:12.000
all totally painted, and yeah,
we were like really unusual fairy tale like

532
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.440
creatures guys and girls. Very again, very sensual, but not sexual,

533
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:21.840
but it was it was really Facade
was a huge eight million dollar night club

534
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.039
in Miami and I was there for
about eight years and I used to get

535
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:27.760
up in costume and seeing with the
band there that had a ten piece or

536
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:30.599
band there. It was incredible.
You know, something that I think a

537
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:36.800
lot about from back when you gal
started, was that all though things were

538
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:42.920
a little bit on the sexy side, things were starting to explode, you

539
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:45.239
know, and a lot of people
at home, a lot of parents were

540
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:47.880
like, oh wait a second,
wait a second, that's a little bit

541
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:51.480
too as you mentioned it, a
little bit too sensual. We're not used

542
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:54.360
to this. I think it was
very tasteful, though it wasn't anything that

543
00:40:54.519 --> 00:41:00.239
was no you know what I mean, hey, no, yea, yeah,

544
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.239
we can't compare to today. Yeah, we weren't spandex and we had

545
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:07.079
our bellies out and stuff, but
we weren't like our boobs weren't overflowing and

546
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:10.800
butts were hanging out, you know, and we were very much like cartoon

547
00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:14.000
characters in a way. You know. Yeah, I know. I mean

548
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:20.159
today makes uh makes Madonna and her
you know, live performances look like Mother

549
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:23.199
Teresa giving a sermon. So let's
talk a little bit about the album that

550
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:27.159
you took part. Did you have
a favorite song or oh god, at

551
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:31.079
least favorite, but I really loved
let Me Be the one. I thought

552
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:35.639
Julia did such a great job on
that. I'm singing on the chorus on

553
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:38.280
that too. I love that song
because it was so soulful and R and

554
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:43.639
B. You know, I liked
all of them. I probably had visions

555
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.360
of other things happening, like if
we would have had more time to create

556
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:50.519
more. I love working with Lewis, and I recently have gotten to go

557
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:52.719
on the studio with him. And
here's some of the stuff that never got

558
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:59.079
released that I think Arista really made
a big mistake trying to make expose more

559
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:02.840
middle of the road and like Wilson
Phillips type of group, they were trying

560
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:07.440
to push in that direction. Because
if they would have just let Lewis continue

561
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:09.079
to do what he was doing,
I think it would have been a lot

562
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:15.119
more successful. Now, there was
a song Seasons Change, and there were

563
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:19.519
songs that were just as good,
but they weren't played as much on the

564
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.440
radio. Did any of those other
songs attract you a lot or have a

565
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:28.320
special meaning for whatever reason? I
think I sang the ballad in the show's

566
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.119
December. My version is really different. You don't hear it, of course,

567
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:36.360
because and I think actually Joya ended
up singing the ballad, and then

568
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:39.599
later when Sandra passed away, she
passed away in December, and so the

569
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:45.559
song kind of haunts me like that. You know, every time I hear

570
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:47.719
it or sing it, I think
of her. It's really good. In

571
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:52.440
March of twenty fifteen, according to
Billboard magazine, they named the group the

572
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:59.119
eighth most popular or most successful actually
a girl group of all time. That's

573
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:01.880
that's huge. Yeah, we gotta
give credit to whom credit is due.

574
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:08.199
So and like too, and they
disregard Lewis as well, you know,

575
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:14.559
like Lewis was such a huge factor
in what we did and the sound,

576
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:17.079
those original sounds, and the way
it felt. You know, he's still

577
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:22.599
danjaying and working now. Laurie,
what are you doing in the near future,

578
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:24.880
because I know you you also do
cruise lines? Is that correct?

579
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:29.559
I've visit Seat for fourteen years and
I had the time of my life.

580
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.679
And I did my own one woman
show where I talked about expose and I'm

581
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:35.800
a yogi too. I've been doing
yoga since I was a kid. I

582
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:39.320
stood on my head and I was
ninety minutes of one woman show telling my

583
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:43.360
whole story. My dad was a
sound man and a sound technician and he

584
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:46.679
recorded us on real to real.
That's how old I am when we were

585
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:52.800
kids, and so I thread that
that little girl through the whole story and

586
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:54.639
tell my whole story. So I, like I said, I just did

587
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:59.039
my first show. I had two
guys with me that are wonderful, my

588
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:02.480
dancers, and we're just having a
blast, like bringing back the whole look

589
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:07.079
and the original choreography. So I
did my first show and I've got a

590
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.599
couple of offers. I got another
show coming up, I think March twelfth

591
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:15.199
in San Jose, Texas, doing
that with I Love the Eighties, And

592
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:19.800
there's a couple other offers. So
I'm really into it. I work full

593
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:23.039
time as a graphic artist and a
voiceover artist who I do a lot of

594
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:28.079
stuff for the companies that I work
for. Now really feel so blessed and

595
00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:30.679
so happy. But you know,
once you're the music is in you,

596
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:36.199
it's hard to let it go.
And the fact that everybody when they first

597
00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:39.159
approached me, I said, are
you sure I'm old now? Because girl,

598
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:45.119
everybody's old now, Isn't that?
Isn't that weird? When I was

599
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:50.440
a team listening to you gals,
I remember I also used to listen to

600
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:52.400
oldies. Now. Back then oldies
were fifty songs, right, So where

601
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.199
I used to listen to k or
with one on one here in Los Angeles,

602
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.639
and I remember us in school going, wow, those are oldies.

603
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:05.280
Those are oldies, isn't it?
Would that make you feel it? Today?

604
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:08.440
Kids make me feel you know?
The station I used to listen to

605
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:13.639
that played oldies today no longer plays
fifties and sixties. They play eighties music.

606
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:15.320
And I'm going, wait a second, I take offense to that.

607
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:21.679
Well, at least they're playing it. Yeah. And now did you see

608
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:23.960
too? All the TV shows are
coming back back, all the shows from

609
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:28.800
the eighties and Friends is gonna get
or I don't have redone or replayed,

610
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:31.320
They're gonna replay it again. Yeah, and all those other shows from that

611
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:34.800
time, all the sitcoms from that. Let's do this. Let's take one

612
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:37.199
more break. When we come back, we'll say our final goodbyes. Lorie

613
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:54.800
Miller with us to the point I've
number turned. Hey, some of you

614
00:45:54.840 --> 00:46:00.559
remember the eighties five right, Well, it lives loud and proud. Back

615
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:05.880
to the eighties with my pals to
Scotto and Chay. We're back here with

616
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:08.480
Laurie Miller from the original Expose.
Here, I'm back to the eighties Radio.

617
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:13.840
Laurie. I got a question do
you probably asked quite a bit because

618
00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:19.280
everybody that seems that was an artist
from back then is asked this question from

619
00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:22.760
time to time. But I'll try
to rephrase it in a different way.

620
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.960
See here on the show for those
of you who don't know, as well

621
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:32.599
our listeners, we do have a
time machine. Certain times we're able to

622
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:37.519
use it. It's a Pontiac Fierro. Of course, it's nothing like in

623
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.880
the movie, so don't think it's
like that. But it is a wonderful

624
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:45.760
Pontiac Fierro, fire engine red and
on the inside it's nice and red leather

625
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:49.599
as well, and so change and
I once in a while take that ride.

626
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:52.519
But Laurie, I think when we
might be able to fit you in

627
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:55.400
there on our next ride. And
if we take a ride, let me

628
00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:00.760
ask you this, what year do
you want to go? And what concert?

629
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:05.159
Any concert you want? It's on
us going back to the eighties,

630
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.920
and I mean any concert you want, any event you want from back in

631
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:13.920
the nineteen eighties. Where would you
like us to go? Oh man,

632
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:17.400
okay, I'm in with the car. I love it. I would Actually

633
00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:22.119
we came out and did a concert
at the Convention Center, and we got

634
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.719
cut off. They shut they shut
down the power on us. So I

635
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:30.519
would like to go back and be
able to do that concert we were supposed

636
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.360
to do with Ali and Sandra and
myself we actually had a band with us

637
00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:37.119
then and be able to actually do
that concert. Can we do that?

638
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:42.760
Oh? Of course? Now did
you actually get to play any seeing anything

639
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.519
at all? Or you just weren't
able to bad? They were so mad.

640
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:47.280
It was like a city thing,
you know, you reached the time

641
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:52.000
limit and they just turned the power
off on us and everybody was just so

642
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.119
mad. Was this in Florida?
No, it's in la Is in La

643
00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:58.840
Well, yeah, they're anal here. You know, you guys should have

644
00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:01.079
pulled a U two, you know, out of your pockets and gone to

645
00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:06.280
the local liquor store, jumped on
the roof and started dancing your thinking.

646
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:09.800
I guarantee you I would have had
so much, so much press coverage.

647
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:13.800
It wouldn't have been funny. It
just shows you that you know, life

648
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:17.199
is so precious and that you just
need to embrace every single moment because you

649
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:22.679
just never know. If I could
see Sandra again and see the three of

650
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:27.280
us together and be able to work
out some of the things that were problems

651
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:30.880
for us, not necessarily just between
us, but just between the whole situation

652
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:35.480
with the production company and everything with
our producers. I would have been a

653
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:37.639
lot more. I would have tried
a lot harder to keep us together.

654
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:42.920
That's a whole other story. But
yeah, Well I have Laurie Miller here,

655
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:46.679
and we'll go to the concert and
we'll let you start and finish that

656
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:52.639
concert without getting shut down. Car
still run on banana peels and no,

657
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:58.440
no, it runs on eighties music
all the way, but last one not

658
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:02.760
least so during law down of twenty
twenty wasn't a great year for anyone in

659
00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:07.480
the world, literally, and we
never had seen something like that. How

660
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:09.199
did you? But I did?
You know? What I did? I

661
00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:16.760
love reminiscing and what it gave me
the opportunity to get out all my equipment,

662
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:22.840
my VHS, my DVD burners,
and take all my old VHS tapes

663
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:27.760
and transfer them and make them digital. And I started like a private page

664
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.000
for all the people that I worked
with and done these amazing shows with,

665
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:36.880
and we all just relived all of
our performing and the expose videos too.

666
00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:40.159
In fact, recently I got an
old video from one of our road managers.

667
00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:45.679
He sent it to me, and
this video this show, even though

668
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:51.920
it's distorted, I posted it's on
my website versions of us doing live point

669
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:55.679
in a Return, right live vocals
right when a Return. Love is our

670
00:49:55.760 --> 00:50:00.039
destiny. You got me run in
which a lot of people haven't heard.

671
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:06.400
But I got to be able to
put those videos and save them and transfer

672
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:10.000
them just gave me so much life. I was just loving it doing it

673
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:15.679
and reconnecting with everybody that we worked
with over the years, whether in Expose

674
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:21.119
and also in my other other shows
and other contracts and work that I've done.

675
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:25.559
So that really was an amazing opportunity, and I think in a lot

676
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:30.679
of ways it was such a blessing. You know, usually it's like the

677
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:34.119
balance of life, right when something
goes one way, there's a balance to

678
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:37.400
go the other way, and to
let us all take a moment to really

679
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:42.000
appreciate what's really imployed and really reach
out and spend more time in our families.

680
00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:45.039
And you know, when you're working
all the time and traveling like that,

681
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:47.559
you know, I was away eight
months out of the year and missed

682
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:52.280
so many holidays and so many birthdays, and now to be home and to

683
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:57.079
see my niece and nephew and just
have all of us be together. It

684
00:50:57.159 --> 00:51:01.440
was really great to reconnect, to
reconnect absolutely, you know, I spent

685
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:05.360
my time, you know well,
developing back to the eighties radio. That

686
00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:07.480
tells you how a nostalgic guy got
during that time. How great. I

687
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:13.400
did a song with a guy named
Michael moorehon called Love is a Natural Magical

688
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.239
Thing. It was a twelve inch
single that I did with Debbie Ohanian form

689
00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:22.000
Meet Me in Miami, our costume
girl. She she's involved in the music

690
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.880
industry as well, and I think
that at the time they were really upset

691
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:30.239
that I left so abruptly, so
they tried to hold me back in whatever

692
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:32.559
way they could, and so they
sort of stumped on that record. Bob

693
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:39.840
Rosenberg from Will to Power actually spliced
together the dub by hand. We satizing

694
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:45.480
nobody that's listening to us probably has
an idea list that, yeah, so

695
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:49.440
brilliant. It's my favorite thing.
And recently that record got picked up again

696
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:54.360
because it's been played, was being
played before COVID at all these electronic shows

697
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:59.119
and trance sort of things. It's
a great, little, funky little song,

698
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:04.000
so it's coming out again and Amsterdam
and Berlin and Italy. Love is

699
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.519
a natural, magical thing and I
have a version of it on my website,

700
00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:09.159
So it's coming out like in a
month or so. I hope you'll

701
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:13.199
listen to it and tell me what
you think about it is pretty cute.

702
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:15.880
Well, you know what, when
you have that available, if you're able

703
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:21.360
to send it on over to us
and we'll be playing it on We'll be

704
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:24.199
playing on our k Hits rotation.
I mean it, we'll have a turn

705
00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:30.519
table to play. Yeah, well
digital too, but the DJs wont it

706
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:35.119
you know, so there it's from
their demand that we're supplying this. Well

707
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:39.840
it came out in eighty six.
Perfect that that fits perfect, Yeah,

708
00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:45.280
definitely. Well, thank you for
joining us, Lorie. I loved chatting

709
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:46.840
with you. I hope it's not
the last time. And I hope we

710
00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:51.559
get a chance to go on that
cruise and go on that Pierrot Tier concert

711
00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:53.679
back in the eighties. Much Mario, thank you for having me. I

00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:14.599
community, and what I mean by
that is shop at your local vendors.

727
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.400
Get off your lazy butts, get
off your lazy duff, stop ordering from

728
00:54:17.440 --> 00:54:22.800
Amazon, stop ordering and having gifts
you brought to you. You know we

729
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:27.000
can survive and live through COVID.
Just take the certain steps that you need

730
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:30.840
to take to be healthy and give
back to the community. You know,

731
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:34.480
we have many local merchants out there
that need your money. They have families,

732
00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:37.599
tool they want a Christmas. And
what better way to save your community

733
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:43.480
than to dive in and save your
community with spending your dollars there. So

734
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:46.360
all of you be safe out there, keep a jolly smile. Don't act

735
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:50.920
like jackasses because I know you're going
out there to do all your shopping.

736
00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:54.239
