Rock Candy is no stranger to bad timing and misfired opportunities. For most people the results are of no great consequence but occasionally, the repercussions -especially with years of hindsight to put the loss into perspective - are truly lamentable. The failure of 'Valentine's sole album is one such case in point. If any melodic rock band should have made a huge international splash then this should have been the one Formed in New York during the mid 80's and fronted by the sensational vocalist Hugo Valenti, the band soon made friends amongst the NY music business cognoscenti, leading to major management opportunities (Michael Bolton's manager Louis Levin) and a coveted major label deal with Columbia Records.
