my memories of the cover girls are sporadic. i was not initially a fan upon their debut, but their music was everywhere in 1987. i remember seeing a cassette of their debut album lying around my grandmother’s living room. i looked at the album cover and was intrigued because they were a girl group and i LOVED girl groups. they looked so glamorous, ya know like, cover girls! two years later, we were living in the same house. my grandmother had moved out of the house following the death of her youngest son, my uncle, francisco. so my mother moved us into the house, and it was in that same living room that i first heard, “my heart skips a beat” released as the lead single from their sophomore album, “we can’t go wrong,” the infectious “my heart skips a beat” was produced by david cole and robert clivilles, the duo behind the group’s pop top 30 hit, “because of you.” “my heart skips a beat” found success at club level, reaching
