Anyone remember them?...............A radio friendly white soul sounding music. Their hits included... We close our eyes, Call me, Goodbye Girl, Don't look down, The King of wishfull thinking and Faithfull.

 

They were quite successfull for a few years in the late 1980's.

 

Call Me

 

We close our eyes

 

The King of wishfull thinking

tbh they were bland and passed me by....

I had a ticket to go to The Tube TV programme the week they first appeared in early 1985 but couldn't make it because of heavy snow that afternoon. My mate made it to the studios and raved about them but I thought they were nothing special when I got to hear We Close Our Eyes a week or two later. It sounded a bit overproduced, as did most of their music.
We Close Our Eyes and Call are my favourites, their first album is great.

I was never really a fan, I guess they were the 1980s duo equivalent of Maroon 5 = not my cup of tea.

 

Goodbye Girl was at a push my favourite by them.
