"Love's Got A Line On You" by Scandal

Scandal was a rock band fronted by vocal powerhouse Patty Smyth that formed in the early 80s. They released an EP in 1982 that produced two chart hits: "Goodbye To You" and "Love's Got A Line On You," which went to #65 and #59, respectively. Not a bad start at all, but both deserved much better in my opinion.

The band's first and only full-length studio record would follow in 1984 and gave the band their breakout hit, "The Warrior," which soared to #7 and can be heard on 80s radio everywhere. Two additional lesser-known singles followed, "Hands Tied" and "Beat Of A Heart," both of which stalled at #41.

By this time, tensions within the band and with their label led to their abrupt demise, paving the way for a solo career for Patty Smyth.
