Ran across this recently and felt a wave of nostalgia. Led by Edmonton, Alberta singer/songwriter Moe Berg, The Pursuit of Happiness were launched in 1985 when Berg and drummer Dave Gilby moved to Toronto, Ontario. They soon met bassist Johnny Sinclair and formed the band, adding twins Tam Amabile and Tasha Amabile as backing vocalists. The album “Love Junk” was certified platinum in Canada. Produced by… who else? Todd Rundgren’s influence is all over this thing…and that’s a very good thing!

this video was apparently banned here in the UK at the time because of the smiley faces and their connection to the – considered dangerous by the authorites – rave culture and E.
Weird.

TPOH are great. Still holds up well.
Awesome! Didn’t know this was considered a “moldy oldie” already. I’ve heard Moe put out a solo album, but I’ve had trouble locating it. Cheers -Bill
