Love and Pride - KING

"Love & Pride" is the debut, 1984, single by Coventry band King and produced by Richard James Burgess.
In May 1984, the single initially reached a chart ranking of 84 on the UK Singles Chart. When the group performed the song on Saturday morning television towards the end of the year, the single was re-released and became a hit in early 1985, reaching number two. It later climbed to a peak of number 55 in the US Billboard Hot 100 in August 1985. Burgess remixed the single several times for B sides and twelve inch versions and these fueled the international club success of the single and subsequent album, Steps in time. The dance mixes of "Love & Pride" pushed it to a peak position of seventeen on the American dance charts.
