So I didn't actually hear "Violet and Blue" until the Enchanted box set in '98.
I really enjoy it. Not sure how well it would have done as an actual single. But I guess it's AOR success is part of the reason she had a mix done for consideration for the Timespace hits collection.

I totally bought the
Against All Odds soundtrack just to get the song. I always really liked this song and was glad it was on
Enchanted because I only had the soundtrack on a crappy cassette tape. Back then, if Stevie was on it, I bought it.
