BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

Ēbn-Ōzn were an experimental synth-pop group formed in New York City in 1981. The duo composed of Ned “EBN” Liben (synthesizer) and Robert “OZN” Rosen (organ, vocals). The duo is best known for the 1983 hit single, “AEIOU, Sometimes Y.”

The bands second single was the uncharacteristically earnest dance-rock track “Bag Lady (I Wonder)” , the video for which starred Emmy- and Tony Award-winning actress Imogene Coca. The single became a dance club hit and a minor radio hit in the US, while gaining hit status in Canada and Europe. “Bag Lady (I Wonder)” entered the Billboard dance Chart on March 3. 1984. The song spent 8 weeks on the chart peaking ar #36.

After recording only one album, Feeling Cavalier, the duo parted ways in 1985.
