ABC graduated from campy new wavers to smooth soulful pop music purveyors worshipping on the altar of Smokey Robinson. peaking with 1987's Alphabet City, the camp was still evident but channeled it in soul-tinged winners. Martin Fry's (and his ubiquitous mic) lyrics may leave some songs wanting (right on the target, but wide off the mark ... make up your mind!), but the music (Mark White, take a bow, TinTin haircut and all) was at least finger-snapping and toe-tapping.
