Finally, in 1984, EastonÕs luck began to change. She was given a demo tape of ÒStrut,Ó which she decided to record, and one of her recording engineers, David Leonard, asked Prince to write a song for her. The pop star obliged with ÒSugar Walls,Ó and both songs became hits. In addition to gaining a critical reevaluation with the tough-sounding danceable tunes, Easton also generated some controversy. ÒStrutÓ features hints of sadomasochism with its lyrics about leather, but according to Richard Sanders in People, ÒSugar WallsÓ was branded pornographic by the Parents Music Resource Center, a group which favors putting ratings on records similar to those applied to films. The song was also banned from several radio stations. The attention focused on ÒSugar Walls,Ó however, probably only served to increase public demand for the record.
