Of all the 1-hit wonders of the 80's, perhaps none resonated more than the Pasadenas' "Tribute (Right On!)", which paid homage to the R & B stars the band members listened to in their youth. James Brown, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, and the late Marvin Gaye are all name-checked. It's just a pity that the fickle music buying public of the period didn't have the patience to let these guys become real superstars like their idols.
