Country music artist Crystal Gayle took this song to #8 on the Country Music chart in 1980, and to #16 on the Adult Contemporary chart. "The Blue Side" also crossed over to the Pop chart, peaking at #81 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. I really liked this song when it came out, as the piano style echoed her 1977 hit, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" and I was disappointed by its chart placing, making it another of those singles that I thought deserved to be a bigger hit.

![The Family - The Screams of Passion (Edit)
This was one of my favorite songs of 1985 and its from a band created by Prince, which was comprised of former members of The Time: Jellybean Johnson, Jerome Benton, and St. Paul Peterson, plus saxophonist Eric Leeds and Susannah Melvoin, who is the twin sister of Revolution guitarist Wendy Melvoin. The sound is unmistakably Prince, made even more spectacular with the addition of a symphonic orchestra arranged by Clare Fischer I just love those smooth, mellow dance grooves that blend so well with the lush orchestra strings. The Screams of Passion peaked at #63 on Billboards Hot 100 chart in 1985, but I strongly felt that it deserved to be a much bigger hit; it achieved bigger success on the Dance and R&B charts though, going to #10 on the Dance charts, and at #9 on the R&B charts.
