    Let me see. Martin Fry, Mark White,Steve Singleton, And some bloke named Gary left in the early years. And then someone else. They started off as a 5 piece then became 4. Then 3. Then relaunched mid 80's as a 6 or 7 piece.

    "When Smokie Sings" era with a weird looking dude named David Yarritu.

    So No! I don't really know my ABC :pac:

    All Of My Heart would be my favourite one. Coincidently, it was stuck in my head yesterday.

    Shoot That Poison Arrow was of course on the soundtrack for GTA Vice City.

    Then there's When Smokey Sings. A hommage to Smokey Robinson, if I'm not mistaken.

    They're the only three ABC songs I know. I should check out others on You Tube.

    Have to say, love New Romantic and synth pop...just never liked ABC. Kinda harmless songs that were light pop songs really. Their Sheffield contemporaries like the Human League pushed the synth stuff a bit more, whereas Heaven 17 were far edgier. So Fry and co. were making quirky videos with them in striped suits, perfect hair and boater hats while Heaven 17 were having songs banned from radio play.
