Songoftheday 6/8/17 - Pictures of you they're still on my mind, you had the smile that could light up the world...
from the album Stick It To Ya (1990)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #19 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 8
Today's song of the day comes from the hair-metal band Slaughter, who had scored a top-40 pop hit off the bat with their raucous first single "Up All Night" in the summer of 1990. Their follow-up would be the power-ballad of their debut album, "Fly To The Angels". Written by lead singer and band namesake Mark Slaughter with bassist Dana Strum, the heavenly praise of a pretty girl became their highest-charting pop hit...
"Fly To The Angels" became Slaughter's second top-40 pop hit in October of 1990. The single also climbed to #15 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock radio chart (also their best showing in that format). Across the Atlantic, the song made it to #55 in the UK.
