The 80's Pop music was the golden days for the UK Band and the electronic drumer & Synthesizer player . Sach as Madonna(Breakfast Club),Duran Duran, Culture Club etc....Some of the singer really smash the pop chart ,but still don't become so famous like the others....
1. REGINA(1987)-BABY LOVE 
Questions of Regina's startling vocal similarity to Madonna on her debut solo LP resonated through the industry upon its release and became the overriding factor in its short-lived popularity. The set's first single, "Baby Love," was the main culprit. Co-written by Regina with producer Stephen Bray and Mary Kessler, "Baby Love" was originally intended for Madonna - who did cut a demo of the song, but scrapped it. One can only speculate on the subsequent circumstances; but Bray, who co-wrote much of Madonna's wildly successful Like a Virgin, ended up producing the track for Regina, and it became a top-10 pop hit. While Regina here undeniably employs the chirpy tone and coquettish nuances Madonna had become known for, a few listens to Curiosity demonstrate who's the better vocalist of the two.
Contrary to popular belief at the time, Regina was not a start-up. She was actually on record before Madonna, fronting the band Regina Richards & Red Hot on an obscure A&M album in 1981; the next year releasing the independent solo single, "Deep Dreaming." While Curiosity is much different than the "Head On" pop/rock sound she established with her earlier material, her songwriting and vocal abilities are perfectly intact here. Unfortunately, the strong attempt to write and sing Madonna-esque songs does detract at times. But not all of the cuts suffer from this syndrome, and the singer proves herself more substantial in both areas than La M. A healthy supply of session singers (including Gwen Guthrie, Tawatha, Siedah Garrett, and Evan Rogers) doesn't hurt either. The standouts are the riveting R&B/rock fusion "Sentimental Love"; the snazzy titlecut, especially thanks to its playful lyrics; and the light, Motown-esque soul groove of "Just Like You." On these cuts, Regina sounds her most spirited, and the arrangements are vibrant. Additionally, "Love Time" and "Bring Me All Your Love" do a good job of meshing pop/dance radio trends with jazzy R&B shades. But the other single releases - "Beat of Love," "Head On," and "Say Goodbye" - only continued the sound-alike concept, and Regina became a one-hit act. She released one more single for Atlantic in 1988, "Extraordinary Love," as well as "Track You Down" on the small Centurion in 1990 (A "forthcoming" album entitled Best Kept Secret was promoted here, but if it in fact was released, it's quite a rarity.) to be continue...
Maria Vidal never enjoyed the recognition she deserved, but one of her allies did. That ally was Desmond Child, the superstar producer/songwriter who is famous for his work with Bon Jovi, Cher, Alice Cooper, and others. Back when Rouge was still struggling in the late '70s, he had a little-known group called Desmond Child & Rouge -- and Vidal was among the members. Favoring a streetwise, soul-influenced style of rock, Child's group proved to be too ambitious for their own good and went nowhere commercially. Vidal went solo, and this self-titled 1987 release is her only solo album. Although Maria Vidal isn't as ambitious or challenging as Desmond Child & Rouge's best songs, it is a solid pop/rock effort that finds Jimmy Iovine serving as executive producer. One thing this LP does have in common with Desmond Child & Rouge is an appreciation of R&B. Maria Vidal is a pop/rock album first and foremost, and memorable tunes like "Do Me Right" (which Child wrote and produced), "Sleep Won't Come," and the charming "I Am a Girl in Spain" are obviously aimed at pop/rock audiences. But urban contemporary is a definite influence on the funky "The Real Feel," while "Soul Love" recalls the Northern soul-pop of the early '70s -- the sentimental gem even employs the Spinners' 1987 lineup as background vocalists, and it probably would have been a major hit if Diana Ross or Freda Payne had recorded it in 1971. But unfortunately, the word "hit" doesn't describe "Soul Love" or any of the other songs on this neglected album, which didn't do nearly as well as it should have. Nonetheless, Maria Vidal is recommended to fans of 1980s pop/rock if they're able to track down a copy. to be continue...

Back in the early 90's This "Ice" man have it all ,what happen? what went wrong ? it is time for the fans to find it out...>Cool as Ice is a 1991 movie loosely based on Rebel Without A Cause, and often referred to as the Vanilla Ice Movie.

Rife with bizarre dialogue and hilariously bad acting, the movie continues to be a popular back catalogue rental at ...
