Harden My Heart - Quarterflash

I really like the sound of Quarterflash.  They were contemporary (maybe slghtly following) with Pat Benetar but seemed to get a pop label as opposed to the hard rock labeling Benetar's early hits got.  1981's Harden My Heart was their first and biggest hit, achieving massive overplay.  It never got old with me.  Very simple chord progression.  Mid tempo bouncing beat. The vocal is very pure and the song is a rare case of a sax lead that really augments the song as opposed to detracts from it.
