anyone remember One to One (Angel in my pocket)? The girl was very cute and some fine 80s pop music [8D]

YES! One to One were awesome.

In the '90s, they morphed into Sal's Birdland, and then Artificial Joy Club; their one album on Interscope was great. She has a great voice; they covered a Led Zep song in their live sets and she nailed the vocal. Unfortunately, I think she's been relegated to singing in a cover band in Canada now, while the guy (Leslie) I believe is working in music in some capacity in LA.

I loved the One2One track mentioned above.
On a more sober note, the Europeans among us (UK included) will remember The London Boys.
Sadly, both were killed in a car crash several years ago.

IS THAT THE TWELVE INCH MIX ? Out late 2010 www.robgrillo.co.uk
