Carlos Ramone 2:23:52 PM
@Rob..I remember seeing X on American Bandstand playing the song..they had Ray M on stage with them
Rob from Maryland 🦀 2:24:48 PM
Carlos, didn't Ray M produce X albums?

Carlos Ramone 2:25:34 PM
Possibly second one also
Rob from Maryland 🦀 2:25:36 PM
Also, I didn't realize/remember that American Bandstand lasted that long. Good on them for having X and with Ray M!
