Ahem...that's Franke Previte...hence FRANKE & the Knockouts...sorry, I have
all three original albums on CD (imports), and actually like their stuff
(guilty pleasure, perhaps?). Executive production by Jimmy Ienner, and
Previte has since worked with popsters Glen Burtnik and Kasim Sulton as a
songwriter (not to mention having won an Oscar for writing "The Time Of My
Life" for Dirty Dancing).

Howzabout "You're My Girl"? "Sweetheart" is cool, but reminds me a bit too
much of something Robbie would have done (mimed) on KIDD VIDEO...
