Ultra-mega-classic. I remember having to listen to the 7" single somewhat discreetly, so my folks wouldn't know I was digging what was so obviously a bedroom jam.
By the way, whatever happened to Mic Murphy and keyboardist David Frank?
I don't know what became of Mic Murphy, but David Frank had a second career as a writer / producer for other acts - most notably, he provided the keyboards and programming for Xtina's "Genie In A Bottle".
I'm with Dan on this...amazing song.
Dark Horse, gmail me and I can send it to you over the weekend.

yeah, but that's on the album of the same name. the store i was in had a computer so i looked up Rhythm & Romance on AMG and it gave it a shitty review
i've got Don't Disturb This Groove & You Are In My System on MP3. both wonderful songs.

A good overview of the band is at http://www.xs4all.nl/~prism/pages/thesystem.htm
Among the interesting details found there: Frank (or the two together) contributed production to Steve Winwood's "Higher Love," Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You," and Phil Collin's "Sussudio"; Murphy released a solo album in the 90s; the duo reunited and released another album as The System in 2000.

Frank had only the title for the song, "Crimes of Passion." He brought in the future mogul to write some words and a melody. Then fate intervened. "We were all set to do it. But the night before we were going to cut the song, Madonna called me and asked if Steve Bray, her drummer, could be in on the session as coproducer. "I love Steve, but I knew he would want to put guitars on the track. I had visualized it as a synth-only song, which was still a bit of a novelty at that time."
The conflict meant that Madonna was out.
d'oh!
