"Gimme Your Good Lovin'" by Diving For Pearls
Taking their name from the Elvis Costello song, Diving For Pearls is an AOR band that had a minor hit during the hair band era of the late 80s. "Gimme Your Good Lovin'" rose to #84 in late 1989. I always thought this track had more mileage in it and should have done at least as well as the hits coming from the likes of Firehouse, Alias, or Steelheart. The band's entire album (self-titled) is pretty good if you like this kind of music - there isn't anything earth-shattering about most of the songs, but the riffs and melodies are above par compared to most of the stuff I remember from that era. The band released a second album, "Texas", in 2006.
