Songoftheday 10/16/15 - Some dreams are in the night time and some seem like yesterday, But leaves turn brown and fade ships sail away...

"Seasons Change" - Exposé
from the album Exposure (1987)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #1 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 16

Today's Song of the Day comes from the dance-pop trio Exposé, who were one of the biggest successes in the time of the freestyle and club surge on mainstream radio in the late 80s. With their debut album they racked up three consecutive top-10 pop singles with "Come Go With Me", "Point Of No Return", and "Let Me Be The One". For the fourth release from the record they slowed the pace down for a classic ballad, "Seasons Change". Written and produced by Lewis Martinee, the break-up song would end up being their biggest hit...

"Seasons Change" became Exposé's first and only #1 pop hit in the U.S. in February of 1988. A couple of weeks later, the single topped the Adult Contemporary (or "easy listening") radio chart. It even crossed over to Billboard's R&B chart (then the "Black Singles" list) at #27. Internationally, the record went to #11 in Canada and #36 in New Zealand, but like almost all of their American hits didn't make the British top-75 at all.
