About The Hooters

Remembered for mid-'80s hits including "And We Danced," Philadelphia's the Hooters were led by Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian, whose creative partnership also yielded hits for artists including Cyndi Lauper and Joan Osborne. Formed in 1978, the group honed a blend of rock, folk, and ska which lent their sound its distinctive edge. The Hooters' debut, Amore, appeared in 1983, and the group issued its major-label debut, Nervous Night, in 1985, upon signing to Columbia. 1987's One Way Home, also went gold. After 1989's Zig Zag failed to reach the Hot 100, Columbia dropped the group, and in 1993 they resurfaced on MCA with the little-noticed Out of Body. ~ Jason Ankeny
