de Burgh's "Into The Light" not quite as good as "The Getaway" or "Man On The Line" though. Matt Clark Sanford, MI

Wasn't "Lady In Red" from a movie soundtrack as well? Just curious.

AM Matt, I'd have to agree with you. "The Lady in Red" is a fabulous single, but on a song-for-song basis, I think The Getaway and Man on the Line are both stronger albums. It's unfortunate that DeBurgh wasn't able to capitalize on the success of "The Lady in Red" and have a follow-up hit or two from the album, but then again, nothing else on the disc is anywhere near as catchy as that one.
