1986's number one/smash-hit "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin in my own video-remix tribute for this American band which formed also, by the soundtrack for the successfuly Top Gun 80's movie with Tom Cruise and Kelly McGuillis (remember about her?) called "Hot Tracks Verdick Mix". Hope you'll like it! Review.- Berlin is an American new wave band featuring lead singer Terri Nunn. Berlin was formed in Orange County, California in the late 1970's. Their first single, "A Matter of Time," was released in 1980 on I.R.S. Records and featured replacement vocalist Virginia Macolino on lead vocals after Nunn had temporarily left the band to pursue an acting career. Terri at one point auditioned for the role of Princess Leia in the movie Star Wars. They were then signed to independent label Enigma Records where they had their first significant hit: the controversial synth-driven "Sex (I'm A...)" (1982), which was banned by some radio stations due to its graphic lyrics. Later "Take My Breath Away" (from the movie Top Gun) became their best-selling single in 1986 and a huge international hit (#1 US, #1 UK, #2 Australia, #4 Austria, #2 France, #3 Germany, #1 Ireland, #5 Italy, #1 Netherlands, #4 Norway, #2 South Africa, #2 Sweden, #2 Switzerland). They had two other hits: "The Metro" and "No More Words", whose subsequent video saw Terri Nunn and bandmates re-enact a Bonnie and Clyde style car chase and shoot-out. Aside from Nunn, the core members of the band were founding member John Crawford (primary songwriter, bass guitar & Synthesizer & Terri's husband), and David Diamond (Synthesizer & guitar). Other members of the band included Ric Olsen (lead guitar), Matt Reid (Synthesizer), Rob Brill (drums: 1982-1987) and Rod Learned (drums: 1979-1982). Berlin officially disbanded in 1987, (Terri & John were also divorced)partly due to the lack of success of their album Count Three and Pray despite its major hit "Take My Breath Away"; and Nunn retained the legal rights to usage of the band's name after legal wranglings with the founding member of the group, John Crawford. Terri Nunn recreated Berlin (with a new lineup of musicians) in 1999. In 2000-2001 Berlin contributed to several artist tribute albums. The only track to make it on to a full Berlin release is a cover of Marilyn Manson's "The Dope Show", which is included on Berlin's 4play album as well as the Marilyn Manson tribute album Anonymous Messiah (2001 Vitamin Records). Other tributes include material by Madonna and Blondie. The classic version of Berlin was featured on the VH1 show, Bands Reunited where all members (except for Rob Brill) agreed to not only reunite as friends but as a band. They played one show at The Roxy in California to a sold-out crowd. Terri Nunn has said she was somewhat taken aback by the success of "Take My Breath Away" on Adult Contemporary radio stations, since none of Berlin's singles up to that point had been suitable for AC radio. She is quoted in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson as saying that the first radio station she heard playing it was a station her mother listened to. "Take My Breath Away" peaked at #3 on the Billboard AC chart and was the only Berlin single to enter that chart. However, Terri Nunn recorded a duet with Paul Carrack, "Romance," for the soundtrack of the 1989 film Sing, and it reached #14 on the AC chart while missing the pop charts.

With the sun beating down on us this VCon Parade entry was a fun but difficult one. Many of us got hotter then expected but not for long as the parade was shorter. Tiff's Teddy bear, cradled in Keith's 'paws', waved at all the teddy bears on the side of the route and a number of people got the chance to dodge a saber, practice a magic spell, and see an Elven arrow up close. We were happy to find food and liquid waiting for us at The Teddy Bear Picnic and after well deserved substance and shade we headed into the picnic itself, shook hands with the young and old, posed for pictures and handed out flyers.

VCON entered the North Shore Canada Day Parade where they encountered many an enthusiastic crowd participant. As the sun beat down, and we thought the Vampire was going to melt, we were encouraged by applause and cheers of support which gave us the drive we needed in order to continue Once more Fluffy the alien was tended to by the MIB so that it could join us on the route. Squeaky the Tribble sat in Danielle's hand and chirped for all who pet him. The risky task of sharing the banner with a Vampire went to the brave Starfleet Officer but not to worry... With an Elf, Ranger and Wizard behind you how could you not feel protected. The Jedi bravely took position ahead of the nasty pirates who seemed to be more interested in being friends with our 'lady' then pillaging her..... Booty? To cap off our rag tag team our 'forest sprite' danced and played during the whole route. We didn't get a group picture this time as we were all quite determined to get out of our melting wardrobes and into something a little more.. Human... We also had to leave in a reasonable amount of time as one of our Jedi is a friend from Ontario and her plane was leaving that day. We definitely had to change as explaining our weapons and wardrobe to security at the airport would not be the best way to promote VCON. The Elf ears did have to be hidden as we did not have spirit gum remover with us. That quickly became dubbed as a 'Spock moment.'
