Eye To Eye / Eye To Eye
"Eye To Eye" is the duo comprising of Julian Marshall, a keyboard player from UK, and Deborah Berg, a female vocalist from Seattle,USA. Julian Marshall had done another duo with female singer, "Marshall Hain" in late 1970's, which released the album "Free Ride" in UK (same album released in USA was titled as "Dancing In The City".) The reason why the unknown pop duo "Eye To Eye" got people’s attention was, as you guess, mainly because of an album produced by Gary Katz known for his works with Steely Dan. It is said that "Eye To Eye" started its duo activity in 1979 by releasing their single record "Am I Normal ?" c/w "Tonight Insomnia" under Automatic Records UK.
In 1982, they released first album "Eye To Eye" produced by Gary Katz and first single "Nice Girls" hit Billboard Top 40. If I explain to their music style, "Eye To Eye" was "Basia-vein pop heavily influenced from Steely Dan."
