book of love
Book of Love was, from 1984 to 1993, a popular synth pop and dance music band, right alongside Sire Records labelmates Depeche Mode and Erasure. Led by vocalist Susan Ottaviano, the band also included Ted Ottaviano (no relation to Susan), Lauren Roselli and Jade Lee. The band was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and later based out of New York City. Their biggest success came on the US dance charts, placing seven singles in the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart between 1985 and 1993. Their largest exposure on pop radio was with the song "Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls." The song, from their album Lullaby, was originally the second half of a medley with their dance version of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells", a 1973 instrumental that served as the eerie theme music to the classic horror film The Exorcist. Edited down to a single-length, "Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls" became Book of Love's only Hot 100 entry, peaking at number 90 in 1988.
