Kim Wilde

[andy-hughes]

Just browsing through some old singesl, and found this.

I'd forgotten just what a spooky and revolutionary song this was in its day - remember hardly any women singers were about back then.

I love the mustery of the story - written by her dad Marty, and just how gorgeous Kim Wide was in the early 80's - I know, I interviewed her!

She's still sunning andy! Didn't she start touring again? I know she was doing the gardening bit on t.v.

'stunning'

[Sachs]

Have you got the track andy?

[andy-hughes]

I have - but you can find a could of videos on U-Tube - go into 'full screen' and get the maximum effect of those grey eyes, that porcelain skin and those gorgeous lips ... I think I'll have to have a rub-down with a damp NME ....

[andy-hughes]

Even a COUPLE of videos - see how my hands shake when I think about her .....!

i remember this i was only about 9 or 10 though i remember singing along with my hairbrush to kids in america lol

[andy-hughes]

Thanks for adding in the correct links - not sure why they didn't work - maybe the 'new' AB?

When I was interviewing her, I remember thinking "What flawless skin you have, and beautiful teeth and eyes, and would you be interested in coming out for dinner ..." and then I realised she had answered the question I had asked, and she was looking at me curiously - perhaps she is used to seeing men sitting opposite her with their mouths open and no sound coming oujt!

I loved Kim Wilde- she was the first album I bought in 1986! I loved Kids in America and Chequred Love best! Aaahhh. Takes me back to school!
