Retro Saturday: Cock Robin

Either my search facility is not working properly, or I can't believe I haven't featured this 80s pop classic on the blog before now.

1986 was a very strange year for me, which began with a back injury which developed into a debilitating disease and I couldn't do very much apart from listen to music...happily I recovered by May/June though.

One of the songs which I always remember from those 'sick times' was "The Promise You Made" by Cock Robin. It became a massive European hit and also made an impact on the British charts. Even now, 25 years on, it still sounds pretty fabulous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pk3A_QSINI&ob=av2e

Lead singer Peter Kingsbery went on to have a big hit in France with "Only The Very Best" from the Starmania soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bf96l01sds
