"Talk To Ya Later" by The Tubes

Led by Fee Waybill, The Tubes formed in San Francisco back in 1972 and started their run on the charts in 1976 when "Don't Touch Me There" landed at #61. After a short chart break, they came back in a big way in the early 80s. "Don't Want To Wait Anymore" peaked at #35 in 1981 and in 1983 they scored their biggest hit with "She's A Beauty," which soared to #10 and has become an 80s classic. "Beauty" was co-written with Steve Lukather (Toto).

Despite this exposure to a larger audience, The Tubes could not sustain their luck on the charts. They had a few minor follow-ups with "Tip Of My Tongue" (#52), "The Monkey Time" (#68), and "Piece By Piece" (#87) before disappearing forever. Waybill continued in the biz playing and writing big hits for others, notably Richard Marx.

"Talk To Ya Later," another tune co-written with Toto's Lukather, reaches back to 1981 and should have been their career launching single.
