Oh it is the weakest of the Breakaway trio but Because Of You is such a lovely ballad.

 

And looking back at what I missed, some great tunes there too, we have a good week here clearly.

sad but beautiful song about Kelly's father... love the "because of you I never strayed too far from the sidewalk"

 

coincidentally, her current single Piece by Piece is the continuation of the story, lyrically, like Because of You part 2

Can't get enough of Kelly this era! :wub: Wish her songs would peak higher but they've all had nice long chart runs from what I remember!

A boy a girl a man or a woman… who cares, the singer of this band is a phenomena.

Their biggest hit entered the UK charts in 3 occasions.First time reaching the number 1 and in 2006 it was the third occasion. They are spinning like a record round and round and round!

Biography

Dead or Alive were a British pop band from Liverpool, England. The group found success in the 1980s and had seven Top 40 UK singles and three Top 30 UK albums. They were the first group to have a number one single under the production team of Stock Aitken Waterman. Dead or Alive, which has variously included Pete Burns (vocalist), Wayne Hussey (guitarist), Mike Percy (bassist), Steve Coy (drummer) and Timothy Lever (various instruments), have released seven studio albums and five compilation albums, and became popular in Japan.

 

Two of the group's singles reached the U.S. Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100; "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" No. 11 in 1985, and "Brand New Lover" No. 15 in 1986. "You Spin Me Round" peaked at number one in 1985 in the UK, then charted again in 2003 and 2006 following Burns' controversial appearance on the television reality show Celebrity Big Brother. The latter also became the first of two singles to top the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. - Wikipedia

You Spin Me Round *.* Total classic and I remember having the Now album this was on <3 (also memories of Pete Burns on CBB, not so great).

Another one hit wonder but somehow with nice memories of this song. And a weird name choice. According to Wikipedia: "The band is named after a Hungarian girl whom one of the band members, Luke had a crush on at school." Well I'm Hungarian but I swear I haven't ever heard that word! :o
