Every Thursday throughout the months of April and May, The Excellent 80's is bringing you a hit from across the pond in the UK that didn't chart or didn't chart very high in the U.S. for whatever reason. Today's video was a #1 hit in the UK around Christmas of 1983 spending five weeks atop the UK charts while failing to even chart in the U.S. It's the first ever a cappella chart topper in the UK by a band known as the Flying Pickets, and it's the first time I've ever heard this version... and I like it. Check out The Flying Pickets with a song originally written for the band Yazoo by former Depeche Mode member Vince Clark called "Only You"...
