They released 5 albums between 1979-1985 and had two minor U.S. hits with You've Got What I Need in 1980 and Hollywood in 1982

In 1989, they reformed and released a greatest hits package that featured the song Touch Me Tonight which became their biggest U.S. hit charting at #67.

They continued to release albums into the 90's and 2000's, but they were never able to match that of their 80's success

For me, their best song was Get Ready Boy. It appeared in the classic 1984 film Up the Creek, and although the song was not a hit, it's still got a catchy melody that gets me dancing everytime i hear it :dance:

I loved Shooting Star. I've still got 2 of their old LP's (Shooting Star, III Wishes) and have since 'put together' 5 of their CD's. My favorite song they did was a minor US hit called 'Last Chance'. I still like listening to them on occasion.
