ABC: The New Zillionaries

Few bands have been up, down and then up again as quickly as ABC. It was as recently as 1982 that the sophisticated, clean-cut quartet broke through on the charts in a big way with their Lexicon Of Love album. Including such hits as “Poison Arrow” and “Tears Are Not Enough,” the guys from Sheffield, England (the hometown of superstars like Def Leppard, Joe Cocker and the Human League) looked like they were well on their way to a long and prosperous career.
