It was 1987, not 1977 and in 10 years many things change.

So I don't think Lindsey's departure benefit the popularity of Christine's songs so much.

I agree.

Before the infernets, I'd think most people didn't have a clue what was going on. I saw the Tango tour(with the farthest back seats in the house). For the first few songs, I couldn't even tell that it wasn't Lindsey. Ahh, to be young and dumb again....
