At the discovery of his ability to work miracles, Juvenal becomes a media sensation, but now he's prone to those who want to exploit him.
Career[edit]
Their single, 'Don't You Know What Love Is' reached #69 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 in some territories, as did their single 'When The Spirit Moves You'. However, the song was played heavily on AOR radio stations in the USA during the early 80's and did well on a specialist Melody Maker chart in Great Britain. The band released one eponymous album in 1980, and a second unreleased album was recorded in 1982.[1]
Touch was the first band to play at the inaugural Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington racetrack in 1980.[1] A live version of 'Don't You Know What Love Is' appeared on the compilation LP Monsters of Rock, documenting performances at the festival.[1]
Post break-up[edit]
Mark Mangold has continued to write and record with and for other artists, with one of his earliest collaborators being a then-relatively unknown musician named Michael Bolton.[1] This working relationship began when Mangold co-wrote and performed on Bolton's first solo hit, 'Fool's Game,' which was featured on the latter artist's self-titled 1983 solo album. The song 'I Found Someone,' another collaboration with Bolton, was initially recorded by Laura Branigan, though it ultimately became a top 10 hit for Cher.
Craig Brooks joined Mangold in the studio for Michael Bolton's solo album. In addition to being a fellow co-writer on 'Fool's Game,' Brooks performed guitar and backing vocals on the album. The following year, he sang on Roger Glover's solo album, Mask. Openemu 2.2.1.
Doug Howard has also continued to perform, record and write with acts and artists such as Todd Rundgren, Edgar Winter, Stun Leer, and Roy Buchanan as well as a member of Rundgren's Utopia (Howard is co-writer of the Utopia hit 'Feet Don't Fail Me Now' and managing partner of Lodestar Entertainment.
Reformation[edit]
Books application for mac. In 2014, Mangold was asked to play Touch songs with a band assembled by the Firefest Festival, for the festival, including, Swedish singer Göran Edman on lead vocals along with other Swedish musicians. This lineup performed live at Firefest in Nottingham, UK in October 2014.[2]
In 2020 Mangold announced that all four original members had reunited and were once again working on a new Touch album for release in late 2020. In October 2020 Mangold posted a new Touch song on his Youtube account. The album, Tomorrow Never Comes, was released on 6 Mar 2021.
