You Take Me Up

Tom Bailey (1956–); Alannah Currey (1957–); Joe Leeway (1955–)

The second song in a row Betsy and I first heard on the car radio while on vacation, this time in England. We heard this one several times, and it took hold of me fast. The former two played as The Thompson Twins with a number of other musicians, then, Joe Leeway joined the band. His creative and organizational skills quickly made him the keystone of the group. Soon he fired all band members except for the primary two. The band had three good years together, then, in an amicable agreement, Leeway went on his own, eventually ending up working in the field of hypnotherapy.
