Bob Buckley and David Sinclair are a renowned Canadian duo, whose songs were powerful enough to land them record deals in several different incarnations. They started out as session musicians in Vancouver, Canada and were originally known as Dogstar. CBS Canada took a shine to the band, and they were signed as Straight Lines in the early part of 1980. As Straight Lines they notched a number of hit singles, such as Heads are gonna Roll and Letting go. Straight Lines released two albums and played great AOR with plenty of strutting guitars and excellent keyboards. When CBS dropped the band they bumped into Frank Ludwig (Trooper / Union). Along with Ludwig (Keyboards / Lead Vocals) and drummer Ross Friesen Body Electric was formed and their first album was released on the Attic label in 1984. This album was a great album but failed to make a mark, so a re-strategy was thought up. David Sinclair took the lead vocal mantle and an EP Two Worlds was released in 1985 with production from Bill Henderson (Chilliwack / Headpins). It commanded a greater success with this re-shuffle, but Ludwig left just after their tour with Corey Hart as he was unhappy with just a keyboard role. The duo decided new management may help and they employed the services of Scott Andrews and Gordon Sinclair who ran Parallel One Records. This liaison culminated in the release of Walking Through Walls in 1987, and a success it was too. Great pop based songs in the style of Mr Mister, Think Out Loud and Richard Marx was appealing at this time and Body Electric were masters of this type of music!
