James is at their best in their dance tunes, but they display almost equal proficiency in some other styles. "Next Lover," their soft, lyrical love song, is reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair."

"But I was nervous about it." The record company had a case of the corporate faints: Simon was busting up an act whose last record had sold 10 million copies. But the boys were having problems. Garfunkel was getting absorbed in acting, while Paul was taking his first turns down various lightly charted musical byways. "There was stuff I wanted to do anyway that Artie wouldn't have...
