Book of Love

Book Of Love are a synthpop group that was formed in Philadelphia in 1984 by art school students Ted Ottaviano, Susan Ottaviano, Jade Lee, and Lauren Roselli. Although Ted and Susan share the same last name, they are not related to each another. The group is best known for its songs "Boy" and "I Touch Roses", both of which were Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charting hits, as well as "Sunny Day", which prominently appeared in the horror/thriller film 'The Silence of the Lambs' (band member Lauren Roselli also appeared in the movie).

They additionally have had several other dance-inspired tunes throughout the 80s and early 90s that gained underground popularity. Other examples of their songs include 1986's "You Make Me Feel So Good" and "Modigliani (Lost in Your Eyes)" as well as 1991's "Alice Everyday" and 1992's "Flower in My Hand". The group's new wave sound has showed a debt to eccentric art rock as well as electronic music artists of the early 80s. For example, their remix of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells (Theme From the Exorcist)" was another number one smash for them.
