 | | In 1980 Missing Persons began recording, though their initial offering, synth-disco cover of the Doors' "Hello I Love You," was poorly received and died an early death. |
 | | By 1982 Missing Persons had put the pieces together, signing on with Capitol Records and having successful hits with "Words" and "Destination Unknown." The success of these two early singles and of their debut album proved hard to repeat, and the band called it quits in 1986 after several frustrating years of disappointing sales. |
 | | Their early successes have not been forgotten, though, as Missing Persons' hits pop up regularly on '80s compilation CDs, 'modern rock' stations, and even Beavis and Butthead episodes. |
