I just heard this song for the first time yesterday and it's become one of my favourite songs, I really like it.
Has anyone else heard it before, very funky soul

It's a great song which was out in 1981/82 if I remember correctly?? I think they were 1 hit wonders as I don't recall hearing anything else from them.

The Boo Radley's also did a cover verion of Zoom, which appeared as a b-side to, erm, one of their songs.

Loved it first time around! I seem to remember that the drummer / singer died quite young hence the lack of other tunes. Not 100% on this so someone may have further info?

Absolutely love it. It's my 4th most played 80s song on my iPod after Kim Wilde, Marilyn and Siouxise and the Banshees.

Last year's Eurovision entrant, Scooch, did a cover of it on their debut album.

Ahhh I love this song too. It was my Auntie & Uncle's first dance song at their wedding and reminds me of being a bridesmaid for the 1st time back in the early 80's lol!

I have it on 7 inch too.

The B side was good to....'Now that I've found love.'

Actually like it better than Zoom.

Aaah memories.
