80s Music/80's Song Search

Question
Dear Bong,

Hi! I have been searching for a song title and artist for approximately 20 years with no luck whatsoever. I am hoping you can help me out. The song was popular in the 80's, and could be called 'Losing You', 'I'm Losing You' or 'Looks Like I'm Losing You', as this is what is repeated in the chorus over and over again. The song was sung by a female, and in the background during the chorus, female backup singers can be heard. Girl band perhaps? The only words which I still have on cassette are (at the end of the first or second verse): "Do you think I don't know, the minute I look in your eyes...". After this comes the chorus: "I'm losing you (Background singers: loooosing you), Looks like I'm losing...". This is repeated. After the final chorus, the song finishes with a saxophone solo and fades away. The song is not fast, neither is it slow, and the saxophone features strongly throughout the song. I would be ever so grateful for your expert help, as I would love to be able to buy this song on CD. Thanks so much!

Answer
Dear Erika,

No, it doesn't ring a bell. Can you find a way to send me what's left of its audio from the cassette tape. That way, I may be able to hear the actual song. Send it to: bong_santos_jbl11@yahoo.com

Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
