Which brings up another point. Jess, you might also want to look at hit movies of the 80s & 90s and their soundtracks. For the 80s, stuff like Less Than Zero, Pretty in Pink, etc. They tend to include significant hits that may have been some of the only hits for their respective artists.

I was thinking that exact same thing in the car this morning. Anyone remember Something Wild with Melanie Griffiths, Jeff Daniels, and Ray Liotta? That had a fabulous soundtrack with songs by The Fine Young Cannibals, David Byrne, UB40, Oingo Boingo and more.

And the answer is . . . Hall & Oates!!! We tend to associate the 80s with big solo acts: Madonna, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins (yecch), or David Bowie – but Hall & Oates (who were in a relationship with each other for a while) actually had the most Top 40 hits of the 80s.
"They are best known for their six #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private Eyes", "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", "Maneater", and "Out of Touch", as well as many other songs which charted in the Top 40."

That's what I heard. (Although you know about gossip. It could have just been wishful thinking on someone's part. People who enjoy the idea of hot men getting together . . . can you imagine? What dirty-minded scum!)

I seem to remember there were rumors because in the picture on one album cover they were really tarted up--eye shadow, blush, the works. Very ... feminine.
It's my background in writing history always makes me immediately skeptical of claims that thus-and-such a public personality is gay--or had a relationship with someone of the same sex. Professional instinct makes me want to see the evidence.

Since I posted "She Blinded Me With Science" yesterday, I have not been able to get that song out of my head! Ah well...I actually dug up the music video (you have to love the Internet). Enjoy, folks....a one hit wonder from the 80s, Thomas Dolby.
