David from Syracuse, NyLove this song, listen to it on a good set of headphones, and you will appreciate it even more.Doug from Ontario, OnThis is NOT the Vice City theme song, though it was used heavily in advertisments for the game, and certainly reminds me alot of it.The group had two other Top 100 records "Space Age Love Song" (peaked at #30) and "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" (reached #26).
