WHITE KNUCKLE RIDE: Duke Jupiter's 6th album (1984) was the first album on Morocco Records (Motown's short-lived attempt to develop a rock and roll label). This album got back to the Classy Rock/R&B format and had great FM radio success, two songs on MTV, and an appearance on the Solid Gold TV show.
THE LINE OF YOUR FIRE: Duke Jupiter's final album (1985) ended up on Motown Records. Morocco Records never got off the ground, and because Duke had a two record deal, this project ended up on the parent label. Motown didn't have any interest in promoting Duke Jupiter, and even if they did, they found that they didn't have the contacts to promote a rock act.
