1981 December

Excerpt from article....
The three year old Los Angeles quintet is living proof that success and hard work go hand in hand. 

An impressive debut album, appropriately titled Beauty and the Beat, reveals the GoGo's as polished conveyors of melodic pop-rock, and a tight, no-nonsense unit ready to revel in their achievements after relentless dues-paying.
