Criminally underrated and still unknown for many AOR fans, WHAT IF self-titled album fortunately was included in the Sony Music Japan campaign titled AOR CITY 1000 featuring a Low-priced remastered Reissue on 100 classic AOR / AC albums from their back catalog, many of them out of print or hard to find.
This is a limited offer (ending March 2017) with the incredible price around U$S 9 each CD (or 1000 Japanese Yen, hence the name of the campaign).
Gifted vocalist Tommy Funderburk shoulda been one of the most hired back-up singers since the early ’80s… Check the credits of your favorite album from the era and chances are very high to see his name on it.

LEE AARON‘s impact on Canadian music is undeniable. Over her career she did metal, melodic rock, AOR music to jazz and classic rock, always with her distinctive voice exploring new music colors. Lee was the ‘Metal Queen’ in her origins, but in the second half of the ’80s and with the success of the likes of Robin Beck, Fiona, Lita Ford, Vixen, etc, she needed a fresh, mainstream sound.
Alongside his songwriting partner & guitarist John Albani, for his 1987 self-titled fourth album “Lee Aaron”, the singer penned songs with the help of Joe Lynn Turner, plus AOR gurus David Roberts & Dan Hill.
The result is “Lee Aaron”, the most smooth, AOR album in Lee Aaron’s career. The so-called Canadian M
