Answer
Dear Leng,

I believe you were not looking for SHEENA EASTON's 1983 song but a 1986 track by the all-girl band KLYMAXX. LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR was from their 1986 album KLYMAXX, the same album which contains their other hits I'D STILL SAY YES and MAN SIZE LOVE. KLYMAXX consisted of drummer/founder BERNADETTE COOPER, vocalist LORENA PORTER, bassist JOYCE "FENDERELLA" IRBY, keyboardists LYNN MALSBY and ROBBIN GRIDER and guitarist CHERYL COOLEY. Their biggest hit was the 1986 ballad I MISS YOU which went to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on December 28, 1985. Unfortunately, I don't have lyrics or mp3 copy of the song.

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.
