There is a strange but beautiful irony that occurs when an artist writes a great song upon the death of a loved one. Doubtful that Brian Culbertson was aiming for one of Somethin' Bout Love's (Atlantic) most emotionally rich tunes when he wrote the powerful gospel of "I'm Gonna Miss You" for his late manager Howard Lowe II, but he and co-writer/vocalist Lori Perry achieve just that. Unlike similar tunes in American culture that come across as generic, the poignant lyrics are specific to the artist-manager relationship, adding to the tune's uniqueness.

U.S.U.R.A. was started by Time Records owner Giacomo Maiolini, producers Walter Cremonini and Alessandro Gilardi (its name is derived from that of Maiolini's mother, Ursula), it is best known for the 1992-93 hit single (and later album) "Open Your Mind", featuring a dialogged sample from the film Total Recall and incoperating sampled elements from the Simple Minds song "New Gold Dream" from 1982. Its video morphs the faces of Mussolini, Stalin, Ian Paisley, Margaret Thatcher, Mary Whitehouse, and Joe McCarthy.
