However, the band lost the drummer, Claude LeHenaff before starting to record a follow-up album in 1982. Thus Franke & The Knockouts:completed the second album “Below The Belt” with session drummer Al Wotton, but shortly after the album’s release, Tico Torres, later known as the Bon Jovi drummer, joined the band. The first single from the album “Without You (Not Another Lonely Night)" reached number 24 on Billboard Hot 100 in June.
