Will to Power is
the sensational dance-pop group behind some of the most memorable singles of
the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. ‘Say It’s Gonna Rain’ and ‘Fading Away’ both shot
straight to No 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, while ‘Baby I Love
Your Way’, a medley of ‘70s hits, reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in
1988.
Will to Power is
the brainchild of Bob Rosenberg, a Florida native who worked as a radio DJ
before finding success as a musician and producer. Working alongside friends
and collaborators, Rosenberg wrote the debut single ‘Dreamin’ in 1986, catching
the ear of Epic Records and receiving national airplay: the track eventually
reached No 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Music chart, leading Epic to ask
Rosenberg to record a debut album for release on the label.
Their self-titled
debut was released in 1988, producing three of their biggest chart hits and
catapulting the group to global stardom: their medley of ‘70s classics ‘Baby I
Love Your Way’ and ‘Free Bird’ hit Billboard’s No 1 spot before becoming their
highest-charting hit across the pond, reaching No 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
Since the heights of their success, Will to Power have issued two further
studio albums and a compilation release in 1997, finding continued success with
covers of 10cc’s ‘Not in Love’ and Heatwave’s ‘Boogie Nights’. The group are
currently touring worldwide, with a line-up including original founding member
Bob Rosenberg and creative partner Elin Michaels.
