But I think their best cut was the single, "One Foot Back In Your Door," which was featured on the Teachers soundtrack in 1985 (it also appeared on their 1984 LP, "Fire Me Up." It is more pop-oriented than most of their stuff, but could only reach #76 on the chart. After that the band faded into obscurity; however, Billy Ocean sampled a portion of this song for his 1988 #1 hit, "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car."
