The System is an American duo originally composed of Mic Murphy and David Frank, who will be assisted by Paul Pesco and Kris Khellow.
Group which released a first Single “It’s passion” in 1982, a title which brought them their first initial success. Title that we will find on the album “Sweat”, an album which was released the following year in 1983 and on which we will also find the enormous Single “You are in my system”, a title which will allow the duo to break the biggest success of his entire Singles discography, no less.
The year 1984 saw the release of the album "X-Periment", an album considered at the time to be avant-garde in terms of sound, an album from which "I wanna make you feel good" was mainly taken.
At the rate of one album per year, it was the turn of “The pleasure seekers” to be released in 1985, an album which would allow the duo to record a new top hit on both sides of the Atlantic with the title “This is for you.”
In terms of albums, recognition came two years later with the release in 1987 of “Don’t disturb this groove”, album which will produce their biggest success in the USA with the Single of the same name.
The adventure will continue thereafter but the group will never find the same level of success on the albums and Singles that will be released later...

Clips :
1982...first title and already first success. An ideal introduction to the subject, which inevitably bodes well for great things to come...
1983...from the second title it was the global jackpot, for them but also for Robert Palmer who would take it back the same year. A favorite title as they say !
1983 ... a sequel that will not really reach the same level of recognition but which will still do very honorably ...
1984...after a year 1983 which will have consecrated them as one of the big revelations of the moment, the year 1984 will seem a little pale next to it...
1984...this new title will allow the duo to save the year in extremis. After that, it remains to be seen what will happen next...
1985...rather a nice surprise with this major new hit. A title that will be their second biggest success, that's for the good news...
1985...because the bad news is that this year 1985 will be the last to allow them to play in the big leagues...
1985...because the adventure will continue but the duo will never again regain the level of success previously achieved...
1987...no more global hits but still a big hit in the United States with this new title. It's already that...
1987...on the other hand this one will go somewhat under the radar. Air holes which are starting to multiply and which do not bode very well for the future of events...
1987...they manage to save the furniture every other title. Certainly the rescues are more and more laborious but they are indeed real...
1988...here they are in soundtrack mode for the film 'Coming to America'. A soundtrack that will rather succeed given the level of success achieved by the title...
1989...success certainly but still limited from now on exclusively to the United States. Just like for this title which this time will be their last hit quite simply...
1989...it's hard to understand why this title will go completely under the radar but it will indeed be the case...
1989...they give us a nice title with finesse which shows that in this area they are not bad either. We take, we take !
2000...while we thought that the matter had been definitively closed at the end of the 80s, here they are back in this new decade of 2000 in an unexpected way to say the least...
2000...an unexpected return which is bound to delight early fans. Afterwards it remains to be seen if this return is not just a last stand...
2013...that's what we thought but they will come back 13 years later when no one was expecting them. So in music nothing is ever finished...
2013...of course they will never return to the race but they at least came back which is no small thing. Especially since what they are now offering is far from devoid of interest...
2013...in any case we will be largely satisfied with it whatever happens. It's always nice to see old bands of this level come back...
2013...it now remains to be seen whether they will still have the courage to come back afterwards. In any case we can only encourage them in this direction...
