From Starpoint's 5th Album It's so Delicious 1983
Of all The \"Star\" bands from the 80's

Starpoint is definitely my favorite band.
Mainly because of their (IMHO)unrivaled ballads and of course the outstanding vocals of Renee Diggs
_______
Originally they called themselves Licyndiana (made up from the first few letters of each of the group's sister's Christian names!), but soon changed it because no one could understand or pronounce it. After building a reputation on the club scene, they were signed by Casablanca (after three previous outings) in 1982 for 'All Night Long', including 'Bring Your Sweet Lovin' Back' and 'Get Your Body Up'.
Their follow-up was 'It's So Delicious' for the Boardwalk label in 1983. From here they switched to Elektra where they have scored chart success in America with-out making a major impression in the UK. Their Elektra albums have been 'It's All Yours' (1984), 'Restless' (1985), including 'Objects Of My Desire' and 'Emotions', 'Sensational' (1987) and 'Have You Got What It Takes' (1990).
Ernesto Phillips sadly passed away in 2004 as the result of a stroke.
Renee Diggs has also worked as a backing singer with artists including James Ingram and Bob James.
She recorded a solo release \"Oasis\" back in 1994, that finally saw the light of day in 2000 on the U.K. based Expansion label.
Renee Diggs passed away in 2005.
