RETRO SONG OF THE DAY: March 7, 2012 THE GENERAL PUBLIC - "Tenderness" (1985)

Today in 1985, DAVE WAKELING and THE GENERAL PUBLIC were on the U.S. Pop Charts with "Tenderness".. Often hailed as a Two-Hit Wonder, GENERAL PUBLIC formed from two members of the U.K. Ska-tinged band, THE ENGLISH BEAT. It was nearly a decade before GENERAL PUBLIC scored as big with their cover of THE STAPLE SINGERS' "I'll Take you There" in 1994. The song "Tenderness" appeared in the 1985 JOHN HUGHES'-directed film, "Weird Science"..
