Eugene Wilde

Ron Broomfield aka Eugene Wilde seemed ready to become a megastar in the mid80s The Miamibased vocalist who had formerly been with Life had a resonant authoritative voice and very confident manner He scored number one RB hits in 1984 and 1985 recording for Philly W Records Gotta Get You Home Tonight and Dont Say No Tonight were lyrically predictable but expertly produced and sang with plenty of suggestiveness and sentimental appeal Wilde scored one more Top Ten hit with Diana in 1986 but switched to MCA and soon lost his momentum Wilde later sang lead vocals for Cabo Frio on their ZebraMCA LP before trying again in vain with I Choose You Tonight in 1989
