"Cast The First Stone" by Urgent

Urgent was a melodic rock band that formed in New York City and scored a single chart appearance when "Running Back" reached #79 in 1985. It came from their debut album, "Cast The First Stone," which kind of sank like a stone. Consequently, their 1987 sophomore record, "Thinking Out Loud," was DOA and the band broke up.

Some of the members, including Yul Vazquez, joined another underrated rock band in 1989 called Diving For Pearls. Others may know Vazquez from his acting career, which included a recurring spot on Seinfeld and roles in several feature films.

Here is the underrated title track to Urgent's debut record. Listening back on this, it is hard to imagine why it wasn't bigger in 1985.
