Thread: Quarterflash -Are they Forgotten??

Quarterflash



Very few probably heard of this group and those who are old enough to remember probably forgot. I am sure you will recognize their single though
Just one more vinyl album I recalled that I dont have anymore since I lost all of my old records.
I kinda liked this band in the 80s. Basically a husband and wife team , Rindy and Marv Ross, put out their first Album "Quarterflash" in 1981. The song "Harden my Heart" reached number 3 on the top 100 and they sold over 1 million copies. Rindy has a great voice and I like the addition of the saxaphone which is also played by Rindy.
They fit in well with the Heart / Pat Benatar crowd
That was pretty much it after that. They put out 2 more albums up to 1985 then disbanded

Marv and Rindy released a cd in 2008 called Goodbye Uncle Buzz which I have not heard

I couldnt find a version of the actual music video I could embed so this will have to do



Heres a live version with Rindy playing sax. I really like the song but I think as a band live , they lack stage presence and just dont seem energetic .
Oh well , I still like the song



This is another single off their first album

I remember them....I loved Harden My Heart, but for the life of me, I don't think I could name another song by them.

Look at the last video, then you can

Well a third song is totally out of the question. hahahaha

Yep, that sounds 80's alright. lol Bentar or Heart were much better, don't ya think?

Heart for sure, no comparison

Pat Benatar, that one i have to think about.
I really think they could have done much more but I understand they were dropped by their record label. I believe she had the talent and voice but get the feeling there wasnt enough drive

No competition what-so-ever.
