Welcome to Bubbling Under. Every third Wednesday I cover artists who had singles that charted on Billboard's Bubbling Under charts from the 1970's-the mid-2000's. This week: Gary Myrick

Welcome to Bubbling Under. Every third Wednesday I cover artists who had singles that charted on Billboard's Bubbling Under charts from the 1970s to the mid-2000s.

1/26/2025: This is a post from last year that I never published. It was uploaded to Buy Me A Coffee towards the end of 2024. It’s an outtake from my Commuter/Pat Wilson piece (found here)

My friend

Brad Kyle

of Front Row & Backstage interviewed Gary Myrick a couple of years back. You can find those interviews here and here.

This week’s track isn’t from a movie, but it would have been at home on the soundtrack to one. Earlier in 1983, Gary Myrick’s earlier track “She Talks In Stereo” and the (at the time) more recent “Time To Win” were featured in the Martha Coolidge film Valley Girl.

Twenty years ago, Valley Girl was one of the first movies I bought on DVD and I would watch it endlessly. While the movie is an 80’s classic, in all honesty, the best thing about it is the soundtrack. “She Talks In Stereo” is absolute perfection.
