I voted, Cook, Hudson and Perry all hot. The hottest of the hot for me is Cook. The other David, is a bit too squeaky clean for me.

Today, I'm givng you all an 80s music lesson.
Why? The reason will be posted on the last post of this series, which will have two videos per post.
The subject? The 80's answer to The Supremes, girl group Exposé.
In the mid 80s, freestyle was just beginning to gain popularity, and producer Lewis A. Martinée had two songs written in this style, and had put together three ladies in a group, originally called "X-Posed".
The name was later changed to Exposé, and the three ladies, Alé (pronounced Al ay), Laurie, and Sandée (pronounced San day) went to the recording studio
The demo was given to Arista records, who signed the group to an album deal. The first single "Point Of No Return" was released to clubs and dance radio stations, and became a huge hit in dance clubs, and on dance radio stations.

Exposé recorded the follow up single "Exposed to Love" to equal success.

Lewis Martinée had the material for the full length CD ready to go, when the group split apart. Finding himself with a recording contract, and no group, he decided to reform Exposé with three new members.
CellarDweller:
After some auditions, Lewis Martiné found Jeanette Jurado, Ann Curless, and Gioia Bruno to be the "new" Exposé. They went into the studio, and finished recording the CD, as well as re-recording the single "Point Of No Return". The debut disc was called "Exposure".
The group's next single was "Come Go With Me", lead vocal by Jeanette, and like the prior singles, a freestyle/dance driven song. However, this time, pop radio picked up on the single, and it shot up the Billboard Hot 100. Arista Records quickly shot a video for the song, and it ended up being a Top 5 hit.

Wanting to strike while the iron was hot, Arista Records, instead of releasing a new single, re-released "Point Of No Return", which now had the vocals of the new members. A video was shot, and Exposé got a 2nd Top 10 hit.
