Paul!!!! Ever since you posted their first single, “Cry, Cry, Cry,” I have been hooked by this band. This is another reason I love you and BTG so much. You bring out the best for our benefit. Thank you so very much for another gem by this band. You Rock!!

Awesome group, Thank you DjPaulT. Upside Down is still popular in the Philippines.
Love this group since they were popular in the Philippines with the very catchy synth-pop song called “Upside Down” Thank you DJPaulT
You’re welcome, Gilbert. I think I have Upside Down 🙂
Can you please share upside down too? it’s really hard to find, thanks
Wow Paul! You did it once again. What a fantastic post! As soon as I saw the cover I knew this would be something very special. This is such a catchy song. It’s going to be a favourite of mine. Another great discovery. Today is a fine day, first I received Elton’s jewel box, now I get your jewel post. Thanks a million Paul, my music angel.
You’re welcome, Daniel I like this song too. I have one more single by this band that I will post at some point in the future 🙂
