The band's debut album, The Glow of Love, was released on Ray Caviano's label, Warner/RFC Records in 1980. It was composed by a small team of writers made up of Romani, Malavasi, Paolo Gianolio (lead guitarist), Tanyayette Willoughby, Paul Slade and Wayne Garfield. The first single was the million seller "A Lover's Holiday" featuring the ad lib stylings of Zachary Sanders, known then for his work on Schoolhouse Rock. The follow-up hits from the album, "Searching" and the title song, feature lead vocals by Luther Vandross who had yet to come to prominence. The three songs combined set the all-time record, spending nine weeks at #1 on Billboard's Club Play Singles chart,[3] enough to make it the #1 Disco recording of the year and a strong seller in the U.S. It also made the Pop Top 40 that summer. The success of "Searching" and "The Glow of Love" exposed Luther's voice to mainstream and eventually led to a successful solo career soon afterward. « hide |
