Le Roux / Last Safe Place

0

Last Safe Place" is Le Roux’s fourth album originally released in 1982 under RCA, which followed the album "Up" (1980) under Capitol Records. On this fourth album, Le Roux succeeded to reveal various style of music, i.e. the hard-driven American Rock like "Addicted", a little-bit Styx-vein tune "The Last Safe Place On Earth", a sophisticated mid-tempo pop ballad tune "Inspiration" and a little-bit Caribian-flavored tune "Midnight Summer Dream". And the album was the final one to feature the original personnel of Bobby Campo (trumpet, flugelhorn, flute, congas, percussion, vocals), Tony Haselden (electric guitar, vocals), Leon Medica (bass), David Peters (drums/percussion), Jeff Pollard (electric and acoustic guitars, lead vocals), and Rod Roddy (Rhodes electric piano, acoustic piano, clavinet, Oberheim synthesizer, vocals).
Le Roux scored their incipient Top 20 pop entry with "Nobody Said It Was Easy" (aka "Lookin' for the Lights") peaking at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March of 1982.
