Question: What group recorded a popular song that was featured on The Goonies?
Context: The Kings of Rhythm are an American Rhythm and blues and Soul group formed in the late 1940s in Clarksdale, Mississippi and led by Ike Turner through to his death in 2007.  Turner would retain the name of the band throughout his career, although the group has undergone considerable lineup changes over time.  The group was an offshoot of a large big band ensemble called "The Tophatters".  By the late 1940s Turner had renamed this group the "Kings of Rhythm".  Their early stage performances consisted largely of covers of popular jukebox hits of the day.  A 1951 lineup of the group recorded the song "Rocket 88", which was an early example of Rock and roll.  In the 1960s they became the band for the "Ike & Tina Turner Revue".  For a few years in the early 1970s they were renamed "The Family Vibes", and released 2 albums under this name, both produced by, but not featuring Ike Turner.  The band have continued, for a time under the leadership of pianist Ernest Lane (himself a childhood friend of Turner's), and continues to tour with vocalist Earl Thomas.  The group has been running for at least 64 years. "Eight Arms to Hold You"' was a song recorded for the soundtrack to the film "The Goonies".  The song was recorded by a studio group called Goon Squad that was put together by producer Arthur Baker.  It was utilized in a scene in the film where the character Data puts a loud tape recorder (blaring the song) into the mouth of an octopus to fend it off.  The scene was deleted from the film and the song did not appear in the theatrical release of the film.  (The song is still heard, although barely audible, during the scene when Chunk first enters the Walsh residence) The soundtrack producers had anticipated the track would be a big hit and so even though it wasn't actually in the film, a single was released on both 12" and 7" vinyl.  It reached number one on the "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Play chart and peaked at number eighty on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop singles chart. "The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" is a popular song composed by Mitch Leigh, with lyrics written by Joe Darion.  The song is the most popular song from the 1965 Broadway musical "Man of La Mancha" and is also featured in the 1972 film of the same name starring Peter O'Toole. "Love of the Loved" is a song written mainly by Paul McCartney, credited to Lennon–McCartney.  It is one of his earliest compositions and featured in the Beatles live act in their early days.  The group recorded the song at their 1962 audition for Decca Records, but never issued it on any of their official releases.  Instead, Cilla Black recorded it for her debut single, which was produced by George Martin.  It was not a big hit for her, reaching #35 on the UK Singles Chart. The Goonies is a 1985 American adventure comedy film directed by Richard Donner, who produced with Harvey Bernhard.  The screenplay was written by Chris Columbus from a story by executive producer Steven Spielberg.  A band of kids who live in the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon, attempt to save their homes from demolition, and, in doing so, discover an old Spanish map that leads them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary 17th-century pirate.  During the entire adventure, they are chased by a family of criminals, who also want the treasure for themselves. Special Generation was an American new jack swing/urban R&B quintet that was the brainchild of M.C. Hammer.  The group members are Lead singer Maquet Robinson, Kendrick Washington, Fernando Carter, Charles Salter and Maurice Dowdell.  The group sang heart felt harmonic background vocals on several MC Hammers hit releases from the 90's (such as "U Can't Touch This", "Help the Children" and "Have You Seen Her"), before becoming major recording artists in their own right in early 1990.  That same year, their debut album, "Take It To The Floor" which was released off of Hammer's Bust it / Capitol Records label, debuted their first song "Love me just for me " which climbed the charts with a bullet for 21 weeks and finally went gold, their debut album was released and did well in the music/recording industry due in part to the popular ballad "Love Me Just For Me" (peaked at #04 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in December 1990) and a follow up mid-tempo R&B Top Ten Hit "Spark of Love".  Special Generation went on in 1992 to release there sophomore album entitled "Butterflies" in which the group recorded hit singles with Troop member Steven Russell whom produced and sang on the album, The Passions are an American doo-wop group from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.  The quintet recorded a few demos in 1958, at which time Tony, Albee and Vinny began looking for replacements who were more career-minded.  Another group in Bensonhurst had what they needed; when the three Sinceres heard Runarounds lead singer Jimmy Gallagher, they knew he was the one for them (Jimmy’s previous group, the Palladiyms, included Joe DiBenedetto, who later formed "The Four-evers".) The Sinceres weren’t sure how to approach Jimmy, so they followed him home one night and knocked on his door.  After convincing his mother that they only wanted to sing with her son, not mug him, the foursome went to a nearby park and ended up harmonizing for hours.  They were now a quartet, with Jimmy on lead, Tony on first tenor, Albee on second tenor, and Vinnie on baritone.n 1959, while the Mystics were recording "Hushabye" at their first session, their friend Tony Armato was there cheering them on promoting his own group to their manager, Jim Gribble.  Gribble soon signed the Sinceres and renamed them the Passions.  He gave them a demo by a duo of studio singers who called themselves the Cousins.  The song was "Just to Be with You" written by Mary Kalfin.  The Cousins were Paul Simon and Carole King.  By the time the group recorded "Gloria" Vinny had left and been replaced by Gallagher’s friend Lou Rotondo.  Also in 1960 Lou Rotondo and Albie Galione, along with Albie Contrera of the Mystics, sang behind Clay Cole on "Here, There, Everywhere" (Roulette), single that became popular in the New York area.  Audicon Records lost the group’s next release, the harmony rocker "Made for Lovers."  The group recorded a few more sides for Audicon which were leased to Jubilee and Octavia.  Released in August 1959 on Sol Winkler’s Audicon label, the Passions’ impeccable harmonies and Gallagher’s impassioned lead put "Just to Be with You" on radios across America.  It was a top 20 hit in many eastern cities and it charted nationally, rising to number 69.  The follow-up out of Audicon’s 1674 Broadway digs was twice as good.  Both sides—the harmony filled "I Only Want You" and the beautiful Billy Dawn Smith ballad "This Is My Love" –vied for radio play and sales throughout the states.  They were managed by Jim Gribble who managed several doo-wop groups including the Mystics and The Jarmels, and worked with producer songwriter Stan Vincent.  In the late 1990s, they reunited with the Mystics and the Classics for the Brooklyn Reunion Show.  Lead singer Jimmy Gallagher left the Passions in 1960 to join the Navy, but later sang with The Legends of Doo Wop in 1998. The Chymes were an all-female 1960's garage rock group that was signed to Chattahoochee Records.  The group consisted of sisters Stephanie, Candice and Irisse.  They were first discovered by Howard Kaylan of the "The Turtles".  The group recorded their only songs in 1966, consisting of "He's Not There Anymore", which was released on a Chattahoochee 715 with a B side of their only other song "Quite A Reputation".  They also recorded a song titled "Nobody Cares," written by Kaylan and his girlfriend Nita Garfield who helped discover The Chymes.  However, no copies of the song remain. "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow (Than I Was Today)" (also known as "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow") is a 1967 hit single by the O'Jays, the group's best-selling single on Bell Records.  It reached No. 66 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 pop chart in 1967.  The song was also a Top 10 Billboard R&B hit, peaking at # 8.  The single's B-side, " I Dig Your Act", was also a popular regional hit.  This song, in addition to featuring O'Jays members Eddie Levert, William Powell, and Walter Williams, also featured a fourth original member, Bobby Massey, on vocals.  (The fifth original O'Jay, Bill Isles, left the group in 1965, before the group recorded for Bell Records). "Disco Dream" was a single released in 1981 by early rap group The Mean Machine through Sugar Hill Records.  It is the only single the group recorded on that label, released on a 12" 33 RPM vinyl single (Sugar Hill serial number SH-564, also inscribed "VID-212-A19").  The track is significant for being the first rap song recorded which contained both English and Spanish, sometimes referred to as Spanglish.
