Orphan - Miracle

Miracle, from Orphan's 1983 album, Lonely at night. A Canadian classic. You can order the album at thepumps.com!

Orphan were formerly known as "The Pumps" and made an album in 1980 on the Polygram label, to a high acclaim. They went on to become Orphan, and recorded two highly regarded albums. In 1983 "Lonely at Night" made its debut for Orphan, an album that boasted a lush production from the Quinn/Bongiovi camp. They prided themselves on playing rich pomp rock, with beefy riffs, plenty of keys and loads of harmony vocals. It did not fail to please either, title track "Lonely at night" started proceedings on the right note, followed by the catchy "What kind of love is this". These are two great songs and are typical Orphan anthems; others include "Any Time at all", "Hello" and "All over the world". This was a great album, and is often talked about in melodic rock circles. Whilst the album was being recorded in the Bongiovi studios, the young lad who used to clean round the studio for his uncle Tony went on to be a huge success, as Jon Bon Jovi!!

Extremely underarated band. I have the 2 Orphan albums on disc, but still looking for The Pumps. Saw The Pumps open for AC/DC Back in Black tour... great Canadian band.

Love the harmonizing at the end. Goosebumps!

Another underrated Canadian band...

I am still shocked to this day that this song never got the airplay that it should have got on American stations.... America missed the boat on this one...

what memories ! I didn´t know they were from Winnipeg until I searched this song here!

[fonten61]

The Pumps, Orphan, Queen City Kids were all local Winnipeg bands we used to follow and listen to in the early 80's. These videos bring back a lot of good memories.

This was a great band. It's wonder why they were just a flash in the pan.

I was lead guitarist and vocals in a band called Lucky Street. we were booked for a gig as the frontline band to The Pumps. I was a big fan of them and of course Orphan. I used to have the single's "Success" and "Bust The TV" Miss those days!
