#61 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: "Come Go With Me" by Exposé (1987)

Back to the 80's Countdown, and at #61 is.....Come Go With Me, by American pop band/vocal group Exposé. Exposé formed originally in 1984, coming out of Miami, Florida and members were Sandra Casañas (1984-1986), Alejandra Lorenzo (1984-1986), Laurie Miller (1984-1986), who were later replaced by 3 new and current vocalists Ann Curless, Jeanette Jurado, and Gioia Bruno. Their debut album, titled 'Exposure' had 4 top 10 hits on the 'Billboard Hot 100' and in fact they were the first group to achieve this with a debut album. An interesting tidbit from wikipedia states that the original 3 singers of Exposé were replaced just before the recording of groups big album 'Exposure,' as the record company felt that the original 3 vocalists lacked "star potential," despite the fact that the original 3 had produced their single Point of No Return, which was later recorded with the new vocalists and re-released in 1987 to reach #5 on the 'Billboard Hot 100.' Come Go with Me, which is #61 on this countdown, was led by vocalist Jeanette Jurado, and was the first official song by the group to reach the 'Billboard Hot 100 chart,' and it also peaked at #5, and the 12" single release also reached #2 on the 'Billboard Hot Dance Singles Sales' chart. It appeared on that same album, which was released in February of 1987. Well, nuff said, on to the next....
