Hit's 'N' Misses
Patrick Goldstein
Excerpt from article..............
Beauty and the Beat by the GoGos was roundly rejected by virtually every major label in town. Now the band is tops in pops, buoyed by a vivacious, clean-cut image that gives boys something to fantasize about and girls something to emulate.

The Go-Go's are alive and well and recording in Los Angeles. The all-female rock band, riding high on the music charts, has been beset by a rumor that its lead singer has died, but 'they are here in Los Angeles, and they're fine", said Betsy Alexander, national director of publicity for International Record Syndicate (I.R.S.). Lead singer Belinda Carlisle and the four other members of the band are cutting a new record, she said yesterday.
