Love or loath their music [ i love it ] you can't ignore their impact on the genre. With songs that even now are a staple of most Weddings.
This movie starring, a very underrated in my opinion actress, Cynthia Gibb was excellent. The scene that stands out for me was the original try out in the studio where she tries to sing at the [ excuse the probably wrong phrase here, i am the only living Welshman with no musical talent what so ever ] key her brother starts on then he realises his mistake and changes to the key she should sing in. Makes my hair stand on end every time i see it.
If you've seen this movie you know what i mean if not GO SEE IT you won't be disappointed.
