Question
G'day. I've been trying to find a song used in one of the dance contest at eat bulaga. i think it's called "Don't Stop trying". not the roman holiday song. it was i think used in pop dance or poplock dance contest. also maybe the dyna dancers did some promotions. i think a hall & oates song was in the same dance album - i can't go for that. similar sound. can u name the artist and correct title? would u be able to send me an mp3 as well. thanks.

Answer
Dear Martin,

I bet you're looking for the song DON'T STOP TRYING by RODWAY, a band fronted by STEVE RODWAY from their 1982 album HORIZONTAL HOLD. It was the Vicor Dancers who did its dance promotions during that time fronted by JOY CANCIO who used to manage THE SEXBOMB GIRLS (or she still does??). HALL & OATES' FAMILY MAN was the other song included in that promo album. DON'T STOP TRYING was a minor US hit, peaking at No. 83 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart on December 18, 1982.
I will be able to send you an mp3 file but you have to write again and this time include your e-mail address.

Maraming salamat po!!
