Orphan took off from the Great White North in the early '80s, along with a number of other Canadian heavies such as <a href="spotify:artist:7gvIFmjP5KZ9ifQt599A6B">Coney Hatch</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7kFyhQTV7cbd3iSYW2yt1Q">Honeymoon Suite</a>. Former Pimps duo Chris Burke (vocals, bass) and Brent Diamond (keyboards) enlisted guitarist Steve McGovern and drummer Ron Boivenue before landing a contract with Canadian label Portrait, home of <a href="spotify:artist:09u8U2kk11NOZFLcNJEdJF">Saga</a> and Orion the Hunter. Lance Quinn and Tony Bongiovi (who also handled <a href="spotify:artist:58lV9VcRSjABbAbfWS6skp">Bon Jovi</a>'s inaugural release) slickly produced Lonely at Night, released in 1983. This distinct debut interwove a spooky atmosphere with quality AOR numbers like "Hello" and "What Kind of Love Is This." <a href="spotify:artist:3bnf5pPVQFWv762IiavilV">McGovern</a>'s guitar spruced up Diamond's gloomy keys for a distinctly neurotic title track that garnered radio and video play. Diamond also appears on Arc Angel's self-titled debut, released the same year. Orphan's follow-up, Salute, dropped in 1985, with Terry Norman Taylor now on drums. But a guest appearance by labelmate and fading celebrity <a href="spotify:artist:3jtTd1E9mBxYYU987s32Fm">Aldo Nova</a> couldn't stop Orphan's descent into oblivion. ~ Doug Stone, Rovi
