I just read that one of the founding members of Johnny Hates Jazz, Calvin Hayes, passed away in July. He was only 63. Collapsed at home and died.

"Shattered Dreams" was their big hit. This was all over the radio back in 1987.

Since Yazoo is not mentioned in this thread about synth pop...
(I searched)
Let me correct the injustice:

Strange I could have sworn that they were mentioned on here. If not that is definitely a big oversight. I have the Upstairs at Eric's LP, it's a pure classic.

See post#26
Yes the poster didn't do a very good search because Yazoo was mentioned twice with both "Situation" and "Don't Go" being posted.

This drove my co workers crazy whenever I played it on the ghetto blaster!

I knew the Grace Jones version but not this one. This is apparently widely considered to be the blueprint for synth pop. I always thought it was Gary Numan's "Cars".

Search feature of the forum does not comb through video names when they are posted as inline media without a text reference...
