| Yes, this is a shame. Escalator of Life and Chain Reaction were all over the Philly stations in 1982-83. Saw him a couple of times in concert as well. He will be missed. RIP Robert!! |

That's sad.
He got strong play on WLIR too
We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

| Wow. Can't say I knew much of his stuff other than the hits, but still a bit of a shocker. |

| it is always sad to see a struggling song writer die, while other "popular "song writers throw their careers into the ground time and time again and are loved by the media.RIP Robert Hazard. |

I liked Change Reaction a lot, and remember seeing the Escalator video a lot on MTV and TV-61 in Phoenix. Always sad to see a familiar face pass on.

Sad news indeed. I was fortunate to see RH perform a couple times back in the day. He was always one of my fav Philly acts.

| I dont get by here too often lately and popping in today to see this news really sucks. Escalator Of Life and She's Hot are two of my all time favorites. He will be missed. |

Beat me to it! I had actually got this from a fellow NWO'er about 4 or 5 weeks ago who got it from a band member. We were awaiting word if he was cool with us posting it. It is the same exact version, I cleaned it up slightly but pretty much in tact.

Been looking for just as long--I know I heard a version of KROQ once or twice: "Boys Just Wanna Have Fun." Do I recall correctly??? It was a demo tape version IIRC...

The drive I had "Girls" on crashed, and z-share is wonky. Can anyone re-up this somewhere I can grab it?
Much obliged. |

| I didn't know that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun was a cover, it sounds so different from Lauper's version....live and learn. His song Escalator of Life is real nice synth wave that you don't hear often nowadays |

So sad; especially since a lot of his material hasn't really been preserved on compact disc. Would love for "Change Reaction" to wind up on a compilation in all its dance mix glory.

Can someone please repost the Girls track? I've had a severe hard drive meltdown and lost all of my collected music.
Thanks! |
