    Quarterflash were a rarity - a band where FEMALE lead singer also was the sax player! Rindy Ross formed the band with her husband Marv, and they enjoyed their greatest success in the first half of the 80s. They didn't call it quits, though ... they put out a new album just last year! This was their first big hit, but they had to others, "Find Another Fool" and "Take Me To Heart". Both are excellent. P.S. Another early 80s female led band you should check out is The Motels. "Only the Lonely" and "Suddenly Last Summer" are classics. Laura Branigan is another great one, too ("Self Control")

    This was a hit when they were known as “Seafood Mama” in Portland, Oregon, a rock group that became a popular nightclub band. Membership included Rindy Ross (lead vocals and saxophone) and her husband Marv Ross (guitars). Circa 1980/'81 they revamped the band -- adding Jack Charles (guitars), Rick DiGiallonardo (keyboards/synthesizers), Rich Gooch (electric bass), and Brian David Willis (drums and percussion), becoming Quarterflash.

    Amber, I knew you would love that sax in this. Wow this makes me think of the early 80's. I wish you had footage of a performance to see more of the lead singer (Rindy Ross) playing that sax. Her husband Marv, the bass player, wrote the song. I think she is trying to convey being strong when you have to walk away sometimes. Just when I think nothing beats 70's music, well, darn it, I love 80's music too.

    "Feliz Navidad" - Jose Feliciano Spanish for Merry Christmas - Sung in both Spanish and English. A very upbeat and happy song.

    This group was my wife’s very first concert in Tulsa Oklahoma in the 80s at Cain’s Ballroom. Awesome tune!

    I was lucky to have seen Quarterflash at my high school where they played a concert on a friday night in 1982. I had a seat in the front row. They played so loud my ears rang for two day after. "Find Another Fool" is a must listen.

    Great 80s track! I totally forgot this one. For female singers from the 80s, I recommend Rough Trade's "All Touch" and Martha and The Muffins "Echo Beach"... both are Canadian bands with female vocals.

      Yes! Martha + the Muffins. Echo Beach or Danseparc.

    Another great female-fronted band from the 80's was Missing Persons. Lead singer Dale Bozzio was way ahead of her time. She was the precursor to Lady Gaga. My favorite song of theirs was "Words" (What Are Words For?). Even though it wasn't really my genre at the time, I saw them at the Beacon Theatre (NYC) in 1984.

    Her grandmother used to describe things as "One quarter flash and three quarters foolish."
    Hence the name Quarterflash.

      I normally recommend studio track for first listen, but definitely Dog and Butterfly is even better live.

    You were saying you don't get many bands with female leads... you should try The Pretenders... Chrissie Hynde is the front person of the band and rhythm guitarist. She has a unique voice that you instantly know it is her singing.
    "My City Was Gone" 'Back on the Chain Gang" "Brass in Pocket" "Middle of the Road" "I'll Stand By You" "Talk of the Town"
    They have a couple of Christmas songs too... "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "2000 Miles"

    They were the opening act at the first rock concert I ever went to. They opened for Elton John at the 1982 VP Fair in St. Louis.

    "Find Another Fool" is another good song by Quarterflash; it rocks a little harder than "Harden My Heart".

  • @marktodd8225
