A Tribute to Buzz Shearman 1984 |
Under the Lights is the fourth album by the rock band Moxy in it's second incarnation, released in 1978. With the departure of Buzz Shearman as lead vocalist in 1977 for medical reasons, Mike Reno then called Michael Rynoski was brought for his debut in music. The album produced two minor Canadian hit with the title track "Under the Lights" and "High School Queen", that gives a preview of the sound that Reno would take with him to his next band Loverboy that saw great success in the 1980s. Album sales were poor, as fans did not take to the new softer sound on the album. After the departure of Earl Johnson in the summer of 1978 Moxy would not record a new album until Bill Wade got Earl Johnson and Buddy Caine back into the studio in 1999 for Moxy V that would have the 3rd line-up change in singer's with Brian Maxim.
In the words of Earl Johnson: "Under The Lights", wasn't even really a Moxy album. Mike Reno has a great voice, but he just wasn't a hard-edged singer".[1]
