Did a few singles for EMI and supported DURAN on tour in 1981.

Yesterday morning as I scrolled through Facebook this song popped up. I hadn't heard it since it was released and probably only heard it once in 1980, but I recognised it instantly. Weird feeling. Then yesterday evening the DJ played it on bbc6. Something in the air. I think it was featured is some movie.

I think Richard Butler wins. He even looks like Bowie in that video.
