Ooh, Heaven Is a Place on Earth because it is Debbie Gibson and Belinda Carlisle together again. Back in the ’80s, boys were mad about them, but it was only in their dreams that they saw them together. So, they had to get up and go because they needed to shake their love for the two singers. You know, because they got the beat it off!
I will take a vacation from those jokes even though I am head over heels about them.
Anyways, can we talk about how great Gibson, 51, and The Go-Go’s singer, 61, look? They still have the electric youth. Last one! Because there is nothing else to say because I think I am alone now with my sense of humor. Whoops, wrong singer!
Before there was Madonna, The Bangles, Tiffany, and Wilson Phillips, there was The Go-Go’s. The all-girl band from Los Angeles, who played their own instruments, opened the door for all of those acts, and they have not closed it.
Charlotte Caffey (lead guitar, keyboards and vocals), Belinda Carlisle (lead vocals), Gina Schock (drums), Kathy Valentine (bass and vocals), and Jane Wiedlin (guitar & vocals) have had a career that has spanned over 40 years. As a band, they have had several hits that we all know like We Got The Beat, Vacation, Turn to You, and more. They inspired a whole new generation of female rockers, so they have a story to tell.
On August 1st, that story will be told on Showtime. The doc will include archived interviews and new ones with the quintet. It is an honest look at their rise to fame, the good times, the bad times, and everything in between that includes several breakups and makeups.
Whether you are a fan of The Go-Go’s or not, this is a must-watch for fans of music. They created a movement that can still be felt today because they still have the beat!
Before Rob Lowe was the ’80s heartthrob in movies, he was the leading man in The Go-Go’s Turn to You. You can see why the girl group turned to the 20-year-old to be in their 1984 music video.
