The Flirts - Passion (1982)


The Flirts were a female trio from New York City who had several dance hits and music videos on MTV in the early eighties when the channel was still in its infancy. The group was created and masterminded by American Hi-NRG producer, Bobby Orlando aka 'Bobby O', an artist in his own right. The trio - initially Andrea, Holly and Rebecca - are best known for quirky and/or sensual New Wave, Hi-NRG and Dance-pop tunes, one of which was their 1982 hit "Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime)" from their debut album 10¢ a Dance. The single received heavy airplay on MTV and appeared on several 80's new wave compilation albums including the Valley Girl film soundtrack.


After the moderate success of "Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime)", the single "Passion", taken from the same album as "Jukebox", began to receive some attention in dance clubs. The 12" single was another popular dance anthem; Calling All Boys. The Flirts' biggest chart success in America was with "You & Me", which hit number one on the Hot Dance Club Play Chart chart in 1985, helped along by an early  Shep Pettibone club mix.
