We were still going out dancing almost nightly when Exposé released their debut pop hit "Come Go With Me," followed by "Point Of No Return" and "Let Me Be The One," so we heard (and danced to) these a lot in the clubs as well as heard them on the radio. "Point Of No Return" was actually a hit on the dance / disco charts two years earlier, in 1985. "Come Go With Me" in particular is a favorite with its sort of Latin beat.

Their first CD, Exposure includes the above three and their only number one pop hit, "Seasons Change" and six other ones. I bought this and enjoyed it even before seeing them perform live (to a recorded instrumental track ). Ann Curless, Jeanette Jurado and Gioia Bruno all / each sang nicely - with tenderness and with energy as the particular song called for. (I enjoyed their dancing too !)

What You Don't Know includes the title track, "When I Loked At Him," "Tell Me Why" and "Your Baby Never Looked Good In Blue" (I look best in blue, though *L*) Overall, this is pleasant enough, but a lot weaker; and the four hits mentioned are available on their Exposé - Greatest Hits (albeit with shorter intros and endings on most.) It's nice, especially as background music; don't listen to the words much, they're not very deep. There is some nice horn work on breaks.

Their third CD, called Exposé came out late in 1992 and didn't make big waves - in fact, I never got around to buying it. Incidentally, Gioia was replaced on this one by Kelly Moneymaker.) This CD includes a dance hit, "I Specialize In Love," and a tune written by Diane Warren which made it to #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, "I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)." [trivia: Diane Warren began writing songs when she was 11 years old and within a few years was writing several songs a day. Her first sale, though was "Solitaire," recorded by Laura Branagan in 1983, when Warren was in her 20s.] Both "I Specialize In Love" and "I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)" are included on Exposé - Greatest Hits, which I did pick up more recently.

Exposé - Greatest Hits has all the Exposé songs mentioned above; omits only three of their lowest charted songs, all from their third CD (although one of those missing, "As Long As I Can Dream" was co-written by Roy Orbison, according to Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles. I'm really curious what it sounds like.) What else IS included are remixes of "Come Go With Me," (terrible) and "Point Of No Return" (mediocre) - but it has the "normal" versons of each also, thankfully ! Additional songs include "End Of The World" (their remake of the old Skeeter Davis song) and another Diane Warren song, "I'll Say Goodbye For The Two Of Us."

A new budget line hits CD, Master Hits does include "As Long As I Can Dream" at the expense of omitting several big hits. Gotta love those record companies... (Arista in this case).

In the Where are they now department, latecomer Kelly Moneymaker is now back in Alaska and still singing (but now, alternative rock); Gioia Bruno is again performing too, and doing much songwriting .
