Bruce Sudano was wanting to go home. He was with the group Alive N' Kickin who had a hit in 1970 with the song, "Tighter, Tighter", but subsequent songs failed to chart and they were drifting apart. Bruce wanted to continue in music, but with his own group. So he went back home and formed the group, "Brooklyn Dreams" with Joe Esposito and Eddie Hokenson.
The debut album garnered good reviews if not good sales, and someone at Casablanca records thought of putting Donna Summer with the group for an album. This spurred the sales of their second LP, along with the single, "Heaven Knows" which reached #4 in early 1979. Although initially a pop rock band, they were swept along the disco tide, and like many other artists suffered when the craze ran it's course.
Esposito went on to record songs that found themselves on several major movie sound tracks of the 80's. Sudano found much more than a band with another hit song. The 80's found him writing for many artist, but his biggest move was marrying Donna Summer in 1980. The couple have raised two children and live outside of Nashville TN.
