    The System is an American synthpop duo consisting of vocalist/guitarist Mic Murphy and seasoned session keyboardist David Frank. The band was founded in 1982 in New York and backed up by Paul Pesco on electric guitar and Kris Khellow - keyboards, synthesizers. Sometimes the group is referred to as an "emotio-electro" band because of their hi-tech, synthesizer-driven sound mated to passionate vocals and sensitive lyrics.

      Thanks for recognizing the synths cause I truly believe they can make a song special. Just got into an argument with someone about how the executive producer is the one that gets the credit for the music. I know David was the producer but for anyone that plays the synths my hats off to you! The kinda music I grew up on.♥️😘

      Palex, Soul to Soul was and still is one of our best. We wanted it to be first single from R and R but our label head at the time told us she didn't like the "soul" music reference in the title. 3 months later she released Soul 2 Soul the English band. We always suspected that was the true reason. In any case the song lives on as music does:) Love won't Wait is a really cool musical entity which we cowrote with guitar player Paul Pesco. He also cowrote I Wanna Make You Feel Good and Promises can Break and I'm Dangerous. These were the only cowrites we did on the Atlantic Albums. We worked so hard on an of this music 24/7 and we continue to do that to this day with the music we are writing now although it's more like 23/6 now...HAHA. thx again. I'll forward your comments to Mic and Paul too

    There's nothing good easy
    I've gotta getcha, honey
    Sunshine morning, don't it always make the birds sing?
    You know how to please me

      If you haven't, check out the synthwave genre. Its where the hipper kids of the 2,000's have resurrected the synths and drum machines of the System's era and given it a whole new lease of life. Check out a YT poster called Electronic Gems he has the biggest site for the sound.
