"Are You Ready?" also earned Sandy a Jade Solid Gold seasonal award and nomination in 1988."Rainy Days" and "Best Actor" also peaked at #8 in the CRHK charts.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or aspect:
“There is every reason to rejoice with those self-styled prophets of commercial disaster, those harbingers of gloom,

“The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
