This was the first U.S. #1 song by a British pop group. While they were indeed a "one-hit wonder" in the U. S. they had other hits in Britain.

Oh, my goodness, I'd completely forgotten about this one!!
It looked from feedly that you'd put up a post about the song 2525 but I don't see it now. I like that song very much.
This one carries me right back to a time and place.
I put that up in the past by mistake, Charles. It will be up again this week.
