Well, The Excellent 80's has brought you "UK Thursdays" throughout the months of April and May, and we've decided to extend it another month through June. Basically, we're bringing you some of the best from across the pond that didn't chart very big for one reason or another in the U.S. So, you're not going to see any Tears For Fears or Def Leppard amongst this group. You're going to get singers and bands like the one today. It's British pop band known as China Crisis. The band formed near Liverpool in 1979 and had 10 "hit" singles in the UK while never really making a name for themselves in the U.S. Today's UK hit reached #9 back in 1983. Here is a cool little song and decidedly English looking video called "Wishful Thinking"...
