In 1979 I was in a band that was recording it's debut album at Capitol Records in Los Angeles. The engineer that was doing our record, Charles Farris, was leaving for New York to go engineer a new band at the time called Frankie & The Knockouts. That's how I first heard of them and from the first moment I heard them, I loved them and still do !! Totally under-appreciated & all but ignored. Fantastic, musical, melodic, emotional, beautiful, great songs. Frankie's voice is KILLER too !!

FYI Franke won an Oscar back in 1987 for Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Way to go Franke!!

@Mpd10206 Everyone lipp synced on American Bandstand - John Cougar (his name at the time) went so far as to have his drummer "air drum" and the other guy in his band play a washboard when her was on AB doing "I Need A Lover" - Dick Clarke what a jackass

@shyman99 oh ok, thanks! well you know how things get confusing sometimes on here.., yes, i loved Franke and the Knockouts growing up..class act..it actually took me awhile to find the 3 studio albums..the 1st self titled one, and then Below The Belt, and finally Makin' The Point...the one w/ the dice on the cover i think..

@ar4216 Well thank you for your kind words. I sincerely appreciate it.

@scooterpiefauntleroy Damn, if y'all could have hung on for a couple more years I think you could have ridden that Mtv wave of metal bands like The Scorpions. I'm not into metal but two of the songs I listened to were not bad. Then again, I guess a lot of it is being in the right place at the right time. Plenty of great bands that never made it.
