Album-oriented rock
Prior to starting his acting career, Vazquez was the lead guitar player for East Coast Album-oriented rock (AOR) bands Urgent and Diving For Pearls. Urgent landed a minor hit with their single "Running Back" which reached #79 on the Billboard Hot 100. A second single from their "Cast The First Stone" debut album, "Love Can Make You Cry", was featured on the "Iron Eagle" soundtrack. Urgent broke up in 1987 after the lackluster success of their sophomore album, "Thinking Out Loud".
