It too was a short-lived project, but the band served to introduce Des Barres to the then up-and-coming pop band, Duran Duran. Two of the latter band's members, John and Andy Taylor, struck chart gold in 1985 with their side project The Power Station, which also featured Robert Palmer on lead vocals.
The band opened for Duran Duran in 1984, and it was this association that led to Michael being chosen to replace Robert Palmer as lead singer of the Power Station when Palmer withdrew. Michael performed with the Power Station in Philadelphia at Live Aid — a show watched by 2 billion people — after just 10 days of rehearsal.
