Description
Franke Previte was a founding member of Franke & the Knockouts, who had a top ten smash in 1981 with “Sweetheart.” “You’re My Girl” and “Without You,” also charted on...
show moreAfter the band’s demise, Previte worked on his songwriting craft, co-writing the two big hits off the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” and “Hungry Eyes” (the former hit won an Academy Award for Best Song in 1987).
If you try and find any of the Franke & the Knockouts albums online, you’ll find that they’re fetching a lot of money. That motivated Previte to issue Franke & the Knockouts – The Complete Collection from Friday Music.
Featuring all three albums, plus some choice bonus tracks – this fantastic music is back in print. Plus, part of the proceeds from each collection will go to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in honor of his friend, Patrick Swayze, who succumbed to the disease.
