Boy Krazy...
I'm a champion of the underdog me. Boy Krazy were supposed to be the female equivalent of New Kids on The Block but that sort of success never materialised. They were from the PWL/SAW stable but that was when their success was on the slide.
This is not to say that they didn't come up with some great choons for the girls from the U.S. Their biggest hit was a song called, "That's What Love Can Do" which was to be covered by another failed girl group called "Toutes Les Filles" (They were an English girl group despite that name).
This song was rumoured to be another single off their self titled album but because their singles after TWLCD didn't chart well it never got released. Needless to say it's an absolute gem.
Incidentily, this is the European/Japan Album version, the American version was very much a less PWL sounding version rather like Belinda Carlisle.

Isn't that a very poppy song? Like it lots! I think I'm gonna be a frequent visitor of this blog.
Keep it up!

Glad you like - Alex! Shame they didn't make it big really.... One of PWL's last great acts.

I LOVE Boy Krazy--ever since the first time I heard That's What Love Can Do on the radio. One of my favorite CD's of all time I think--and I had no idea the Japanese/UK version was different. Are the other tracks altered as well? Would love to hear more--if you don't have them, can you at least let me know if its worth tracking down.

As far as I know the only different sounding song was On A Wing And A Prayer. Think the rest was all pretty much the same on the different Album's across the world. I know there was an Album version and a 7 inch edit of That's What Love Can Do, I have both :o)
