Here is another 80s classic from Yazoo. The song was released in 1982 as the second single from the duo's debut album, Upstairs at Eric's. This song was written by Vince Clarke, who was the non-singing half of Yazoo, which he formed after leaving Depeche Mode in 1982. Yazoo, who were known in America as Yaz, lasted just two albums, with Clarke and vocalist Alison Moyet each contributing songs, but writing separately.

Here is the song for this week;

"Don't Go"

Released in the UK in July 1982, the song peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Yazoo's second top 5 hit. In the US, where the band was known as Yaz, the song was their second big hit on the American dance chart, where it spent two weeks at number one in October 1982. Their first American dance chart hit was "Situation", which had also gone to number one on this chart earlier the same year. The music video for the song features band members Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke in a sort of haunted mansion. 

Here are the 5 versions I picked for you;

• Nouvelle Vague - "Don't Go"

• Slow Moving Millie - "Don't Go"

• Terminal Choice - "Don't Go"

• Starting Rock feat. Diva Avari - "Don't Go"

• Boobytrax - "Don't Go"

Now the floor is yours, go ahead and make your comments (here, Instagram, Facebook wherever you feel like...).

nb. Please note that I intentionally do not include the original versions of the songs as it would be a little unfair to the artists covering the songs, and I am sure that sometimes you will be surprised to see that the songs you thought were the originals are just covers.
