  • Pop duo Boys Club performing their hit "The Loneliest Heart" on the Mickey Mouse Club, circa 1988. The group is also interviewed afterwards. The members of the group were Joe Pasquale and Gene Hunt. Gene had originally been known as Eugene Wolfgramm and was part of the '80s sibling pop group The Jets. I captured this video from my own VHS-recorded copy of the broadcast from back in the day. :) For the higher quality video and audio version, add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL.

      I did not know about Eugene passing till you mentioned it. That's just so sad. I was a huge fan of The Jets back in the day, so this is a very hard pill to swallow. 😞

    A flashback for me. I remember this as though I had watched it yesterday. How amazing that you kept so many different recordings. I wish I had done that! I think of seeing The Jets in concert and of watching The Jets in Hawaii. I remembered Eugene was wearing that Batman shirt!

    Gene Hunt is actually Eugene Wolfgramm of The Jets, they were huge in the mid 80's. I believe The Jets were Tongan. Tonga is a South Pacific Island.

    Pasquale was really cute but more of a song writer and arranger. The group should've been focused around Gene because he had a little more stage presence and was coming off The Jets.

    Gene seems to have a great personality, but I'm guessing he left because he believed his own hype as the pretty boy of the group and thought he could make it as part of a duo.

    • @heylad
      @heylad  4 роки тому +2

      Although there's pre-recorded background vocals that Gene is singing along with, they, themselves, aren't lip syncing here. It's quite obvious, especially after the music fades out and they're still singing.

      Mark Flanigan Kind of ironic you said that. Leroy Wolfgramm, who is one Gene's brothers (Gene is the lighter-haired guy), said in an interview one time, when the band was just starting, that they're like Minneapolis' version of Wham!

    These lads were very talented, a actually had the CD. But, uh, this video of this performance is so wrong. Singing this song to a pre-pubesnt crowd? This is probably why they didn't get so far. Their handlers should've pushed them to an audience of guys whose nuts already dropped and girls with more than rasins on their chest.

      There was a significant change in the music business. A lot groups that formed at end of the 80s missed their shot. A lot of major groups has issue transitioning or evolving their sound to appeal to a new generation.
