Don't Tell Me Lies

One of the best and most original bands of the 80's: Breathe.

Vocalist, instrumentalist and song writer David Glasper fronted this personally conflicted and troubled band. But man could they put together some great music. 

Like most in the States, I heard them when A&M Records put out their first disc, All That Jazz,  and the smash single Hands to Heaven. Even better was the epic How Can I Fall? And just as catchy in a different way was Don't Tell Me Lies, presented below in an extended remix version.

Their next album Peace of Mind, contained a few single releases, with the most compelling being the absolutely gorgeous Does She Love That Man? 

After the band imploded, the members fell apart one by one. It seems David Glasper, though, is ready to relaunch a career. You can find some of his music on i-tunes.

All That Jazz

In the mood for some great 80's music? If so, check out the British band Breathe. You might remember some of the old hits "Hands to Heaven", "Don't Tell Me Lies" and my favorite, "How Can I Fall?"

The band made two great A&M Records albums that were released in the United States. Breakout album "All That Jazz" came in 1988 and follow-up "Peace of Mind" arrived in 1990. Then the hits- and everything else- stopped. Relatively few folks know why, and it is a well kept secret.

Lead singer and songwriter David Glasper promises a return to music, but so far, nothing had been set except a My Space page with a few demos. Too bad. His voice is amazing, and he is a skilled songwriter. Will we ever see it happen? Say a prayer.
