]When the pop-rock band Pablo Cruise performs at the Spencer Theater on Friday, June 28 at 8 p.m., fans will hear favorites like "Whatcha Gonna Do?," "Love Will Find a Way," "I Want You Tonight," "Cool Love" and "Place in the Sun."Those songs were all chart-topping hits in the 1970s, an era in which Pablo Cruise released eight albums and ruled the airwaves. Known for their catchy rhythms, lyrics and extended, virtuoso riffs on  keyboard, guitar and percussion, the band traveled the world in concert, succeeding in their groovin' and cruisin' slant towards life - an approach which explains why they selected the name "Pablo Cruise" for their group in the first place (Pablo being a common, down-to-earth guy's name and Cruise being what it is).

Expect songs like 'Stormy Weather,' 'Blues In The Night,' 'Let's Fall In Love,' 'Over The Rainbow' and more. Getz's TV appearances include the 'Merv Griffin Show,' 'You Write The Songs' and 'Cop Rock.' Getz also was a finalist on 'Star Search.'

Below, we're giving you the scoop on the life of every one of them!
