Champaign was a United States R&B band with adult contemporary leanings from the 1980's, best known for their 1981 hit, "How 'Bout Us."
The inter-racial septet, who named themselves after their hometown of Champaign, Illinois, included Pauli Carman and Rena Jones (later Day) on vocals; Michael Day and Dana Walden on keyboards; Howard Reeder on guitar; Michael Reed on bass; and Rocky Maffitt on percussion/drums.
The title track from their 1981 album, How 'Bout Us, was a hit single, reaching Top 5 in the United Kingdom and on the United States R&B charts (also #12 U.S. Pop). Their second album, Modern Heart, was released in 1983 and contained the Top 10 R&B track "Try Again" (also #23 U.S. Pop). Another follow-up, 1984's Woman in Flames, included the Top 10 R&B song "Off and On Love." Other songs include "Party People" and "Walkin'".

What a beautiful song. As to the overly dramatic comment, they have true passion , emotion, and realism in their performance. Not like todays pop garbage. This is what soulful singing was all about back in the day. Yes, there are great performers today, but nothing like in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Pauli Carman still performs with beautiful music to this day.
