Not the first time I've gone on about this '80s Bobby "O" Orlando confection. "10 Cents a Dance" was the only album I ever got of theirs, but I always wondered if the other incarnations of this girl group were worth checking out. And what do you know, my Arizona best friend, Greg, did the research and told me recently that Rebecca, Holly and Andrea were the only winning combination!

I like where this is going ...
