Yazoo

Yazoo (also — Yaz, in the USA) is a British new wave electronic duo formed by keyboardist and songwriter Vince Clarke (formerly a member of Depeche Mode) and vocalist Alison Moyet in Basildon, Essex, England, in 1981. The collective's debut single, "Only You", rose to #2 in the UK Singles Chart and largely predetermined success — both for the second single "Don’t Go" (#3 UK) and for the albums Upstairs at Eric's (#1 UK, 1982) and You and Me Both (#2 UK, 1983). In 1983, the duo broke up: Moyet began a successful solo career, Clarke formed Erasure. In 2008, Yazoo briefly reunited and toured in the USA and Great Britain.
