Speaking of Kings...
#otd Oct 18, 1985
WORLD MACHINE by Level 42 was released, featuring the hit "Something About You".
I wore out the cassette.
To this day, the most important band in my life.

Press photo of keyboard player and producer Wally Badarou from the Island Records press pack for his 1984 LP Echoes. The glossy black and white photo is by Adrian Boot and shows Badarou wearing shades with arms aloft.
First page of an Island Records press release promoting the US pressing of Wally Badarou's first solo LP Echoes, date stamped February 3, 1986. The text covers the roots of his love for music and the early part of his career including his 1977 French disco release with Sher Komisar under the name Wally & Shane.
Second page of an Island Records press release promoting the US pressing of Wally Badarou's first solo LP Echoes, date stamped February 3, 1986. The text covers his addition to the Compass Point All Stars to work with Grace Jones and others, as well as his role as a fifth member of, and producer for, Level 42.
A photo of the singer Sher Komisar at home in New York City during the 70s, from Wally Badarou's website where it's captioned: "At home in New-York. A golden voice and a great friend."
Island Records press pack for the US release of Wally Badarou's Echoes LP. I think the unnamed "American girl singer" is Sher Komisar (photo from Badarou's website), who collaborated on the 1977 disco release Give Me Back My Song under the name Wally & Shane. #WallyBadarou #Musicsky #SherKomisar
