Ironically one of the original vocalists Ivana Spagna became a huge star both on her own with hits like Easy Lady and Call Me and as a chanteuse with feats such as winning the San Remo festival
The debut single Happy Station was a solid dance hit throughout the world. It went beyond the limits of the typical Italo Disco hit. The follow-up Color my Love was even bigger and got a lot of play in clubs where Hi Nrg ruled like The Saint in New York and Badlands in D.C.
Give me Your Love (sounded like an Italian Bananarama) and Living in Japan were also successful. Color in fact went all the way up to #9 on the U.S. Dance Charts.
Their second album wasn't quite as successful as their first and then they stopped recording under that name. By then Ivana Spagna had had more success then Fun Fun ever did.
There's actually an earlier Ivana Spagna dance record from before Fun Fun that I'll add the post later. It's obscure but quite nice.
