One To One "Angel In My Pocket"

[John77]

This one is pretty obscure... It barely got into the Hot 100 in 1985... peaking somewhere in the high 80's or low 90's... I loved this song and it got some airplay locally at KIIS FM here in L.A... it also became a pretty big hit in Canada and the Phillipines...

Anyone else remember this one other than me here???

Yes, but it was 1986.  One To One was a Canadian duo - Louise Reny and Leslie Howe.  They had a number of hits in Canada, including this one, "There Was a Time" and "Peace Of Mind".  They did fairly well with dance-oriented pop.  Howe went on to guide Alanis' (Morissette) start of her career in the early 90's in Canada - almost turning her into a dance diva (she had three CD's for MCA Canada) before she broke away from the industry for a few years and emerged with Jagged Little Pill in 1995.

So, obscure - somewhat - but with a story!

Thanks for the info... I knew someone other than me had to remember it... I liked the other 2 songs too... bought the cassette for their first album (never could find it on CD), and have a couple of copies of their 2nd CD... I had no idea about the Alanis connection... that's pretty cool!!!

I remember them, use to hear them lots on the radio. I also liked "Memory Lane" which came out later sometime.

Thank goodness this did pretty well in Canada... anyone have any idea of chart positions, etc???

No, but you can try doing searches for the songs on the RPM Collection site. RPM was Canada's national music trade magazine from 1965-2000.

From what I seen (the writing is too small) it looked liked it peaked in the mid 20's. But

I have some chart info from "Top 40 Hits" from Nanda Lwin's book. But these are sales charts (except for the last two songs)

There Was a Time - #13
Angel in My Pocket - #28
Hold Me Now - #25
Peace of Mind - #25 (radio - #13)
Memory Lane - (radio - #27)
