#11 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: 'Never Say Never' by Romeo Void (1982)

The Top 100 80s Dance Hits is back, and this time we are looking at #11 which goes to American new-wave/rock-band Romeo Void and their 1982 song Never Say Never. Romeo Void were active as a band from 1979-1985, they were based out of San Francisco California, and they consisted primarily of members Benjamin Bossi (saxophone), Debora Iyall (vocals), Peter Woods (guitar), Frank Zincavage (bass guitar), and a few different drummers which I won't name here. The song Never Say Never was released in 1982 on the band's Benefactor album. It was also featured in a high-school dance scene in the 1984 film Reckless, which starred Aidan Quinn and Daryl Hannah, so be sure to check that out if you like the song. And there is #11, which leads us now to the final 10 of the Top 100...what are we going to do when this is over?? Perhaps I will have to feature more specific countdowns because there are always more 80s songs out there and I am always discovering new ones myself. Stay tuned for the final 10!
