The group are best known for "Turned On To You", one of the most iconic 'rare groove' tracks from the early 80s. It was sampled numerous time in the 90s, most notably by A Tribe Called Quest ("Buttter-Hip Hop Mix"), and more recently bu Nujabes featuring C.L. smooth ("Sky Is Falling"). This 7" is an exclusive edit of the 12" version, while the instrumental version of "Ladies of The Eighties" appears here on 7" for the first time.
