Description
Formed in 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and later based out of New York City Book Of Love featured vocalist Susan Ottaviano, keyboardist Ted Ottaviano, Lauren Roselli and Jade Lee.

The band gained its first exposure as the opening act for two Depeche Mode tours in 1985 and 1986.

Not only has Book of Love's music been a staple of dance clubs and college radio, it has been featured in various films and television over the years. The band's song ''Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes)'' was featured in the 1987 John Hughes film Planes, Trains & Automobiles as well as Miami Vice. In 1991, the song ''Sunny Day'' was featured in the movie The Silence of the Lambs, in a scene in which band member Lauren Roselli also had a cameo with Jodie Foster. Also, the song the song ''I Touch Roses,'' was featured in the 2000 movie ''American Psycho.''

Since their active years, Book of Love's songs ''Boy'' and ''I Touch Roses'' have been rediscovered by new audiences.

I love this band. Their first CD is a perfect album. Saw them open for Depeche Mode in the mid 80s in NYC and caught a thrown rose
from them and gave it to my wife. We still have it pressed in plastic within the "I Touch Roses" 12".

They are touring now, but haven't had a Vegas date yet.

I have one or two cd's that I bought in the used bin back in the day. Can't recall what they sounded like. Need to go into the archives to fish them out.

Nice story (and memory made) DanO.

I am all over that one!
