@simonp They made one album in 1979. They were expected to do well but were pretty much, and probably unfairly, one hit wonders. Perfect 80's pop/alt pop. It took me years to remember the bands name.

I loved this album back in the day. I had a bit of a crush on Wendy Wu as well.

@AndyWilkinson We used to listen to it a lot. She does look lovely, too. I've been trying to work out what TV programme this was, as it doesn't say on YT. Don't think it's liv, but not sure.

Great jam. Not heard this in ages. What ever happened to them? Google is calling

@BarneyRubble They just weren't that successful, apart from either this or another single. The album is on Spotify. I was really pleased to find it :)

Never heard this one before. Liked it. Quite upbeat. The singer is mostly expressionless or am I just being cynical?

Funny, I remember the name Wendy Wu but not The Photos nor this song. Good stuff, though!

Very nice. I remember them, but not this, despite it being so catchy. A short lived career because they weren't developed? *gets coat*

Like several people, this is stirring an ancient memory.

Big controversy at the time as the album went straight in to the charts at no4, despite them being complete unknowns. Suspicions of hyping by their label. My mate Eddie bought it though.
