Yeah Lance Ross wrote the Music to "Breakaway" and "On The Rocks" but after he left, they re-wrote the music to sound almost like it but the original was better. Lance has the masters of the first versions.
Lance Ross & I wrote this song for our band High Voltage in like '81. Lance joined SS for a stint (went to LA) & Joey changed the lyrics/melody to fit their style. In my opinion this was their best song & Lance made them a million times better! Chris was a decent rhythm guitarist at best. I think it sucks that there aren't any videos of SS with Lance here... Anyways, Lance came back & we formed Gypsy Blue then later Gypsies,Tramps & Thieves. Good times...
This band should have been HUGE!!! Hung with them in Tampa, FL back in the day - 1986. Joey C. Jones is a great guy. They were awesome - still love listening to their stuff!
Sweet Savage from Dallas TX, took Hollywood by storm, and pissed off the competition in the process. Half the band and the road crew lived in my Hollywood apartment living room, until I had to physically 'extract' back pay from the road manager who ran away crying when I had to beat his lazy ass. Chris, Lane, Joey, Randy, you guys will always be remembered by me, We had a lot of good times together, and had to deal with that shark, Dana Strum, lol.
