Missing Persons was formed in 1980 in Los Angeles.  This New Wave group was formed by Dale Bozzio (vocalist), Terry Bozzio (drummer), and Warren Cuccurullo (guitars).  It later included Patrick O’Hearn (bassist) and keyboardist Chuck Wild.

Originally a Phil Phillips recording, The Honeydrippers led by Robert Plant released this version in 1984.  It quickly became a Top Ten hit.  Plant formed The Honeydrippers to realize his dream of having a band with a R&B base; although it was successful, the group only released one album (The Honeydrippers: Volume One).
