“Arguably, the first casualty of MTV's success amidst the ushering in of the "style-over-substance" 1980s. The band had a great sound, a solid LA fan base and a lead singer whose sound and sexually suggestive lyrics caught the attention of the music industry's movers and shakers. But on the radio, no one knew lead singer Debora Iyall was a large, non-white woman. Once MTV's 24/7 airing of music videos arrived, the likes of Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar, both successful singers in their own right, shot to stardom as much on their beauty as their talent, leaving Romeo Void in dust. Forty-plus years later, we only have "Never Say Never" and "A Girl In Trouble" playing on 80s-based radio stations to remember them by.”
