Answer
Dear Dale,

You are right, RICO MAMBO is the title of that song. The artist who performed it is called THE BREAKFAST CLUB. They are known to have hit the Top 10 in the Hot 100 Charts with the RIGHT ON TRACK peaking at #7 on May 30, 1987. They also have another hit called KISS AND TELL, No. 48 on August 15, 1987. They are on the same album called BREAKFAST CLUB as RICO MAMBO, released in 1986. They are also known to have two members who are former boyfriends of MADONNA, STEPHEN BRAY and singer DAN GILROY. The Material Girl herself was a former member of this group during her pre-fame days.

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.
