Information About

Berlin (band)




Berlin was an ", which was later covered by System Of A Down , and "No More Words."

Aside from Nunn, the core members of the band were John Crawford (primary songwriter, bass guitar & keyboards), and David Diamond (keyboards & guitar). Other members of the band included Ric Olsen (lead guitar), Matt Reid (keyboards) and Rob Brill (drums). Berlin officially disbanded in 1987 and Nunn retained the legal rights to usage of the band's name after legal wranglings with the founding member of the group, John Crawford.

They were featured recently on the VH1 show, Bands Reunited where they all agreed to get back together to not only reunite as friends but as a band. They played one show at The Roxy in California to a sold-out crowd.

TRIVIA

  • "No More Words" was also included as the B-side of Madonna 's #1 hit of 1985 , " Crazy For You ". Both songs were part of the soundtrack for the film '' Vision Quest ]''.

  • Terri Nunn has said she was somewhat taken aback by the success of "Take My Breath Away" on Adult Contemporary radio stations, since none of Berlin's singles up to that point had been suitable for AC radio. She is quoted in ''The Billboard Book of Number One Hits'' by Fred Bronson as saying that the first radio station she heard playing it was "something my mom listens to."
