Club Nouveau - "Lean on Me"

In the U.S., the last 2 weeks of march 1987, we discovered "Lean on Me" of Club Nouveau... This band made such a "career" that I was unable to find back their video... Though, I've found some "home-made" video on youTube using that song as sounddtrack... Don't ask me, who thos people are, I don't know but "thanks to them" we're now able to listen to that song again... and I'm quite sure, you'll remember that song:

Actually that song is again a cover of a "classic" song by Bill Withers (1972) and that since it has been covered several times by several singers or bands... So, there's no wonder if we do remember well of this nice little melody!

But regarding the band Club Nouveau, their career sums up to 7 singles (amongst which this one was the biggest hit) that came out between 1986 and 1992! This band was founded by Jay King after the split of his previous band: Timex Social Club. But quickly 3 other members left Club Nouveau to focus on producing other things... So, there's very few chance that Club Nouveau might be one of the 80's bands that regroup to make a new tour!
