"You Pull Me Down" by The Stabilizers
The Stabilizers were a quintessential 80s synth pop band from the unlikely town of Erie, Pennsylvania. They scored a single chart appearance in 1987 from their only album when "One Simple Thing" managed to scratch its way to #93. The album's title track, "Tyranny," failed to chart when it was released as a follow-up single. An unreleased track from the band, "Maybe This Time," surfaced in 1991 on the soundtrack to the movie, If Looks Could Kill. "You Pull Me Down" closes out the group's lone album, which is cherished among collectors of the genre. Vocalist David Christenson passed away in 2017 from lung cancer at the age of 54.
