You’re right - just looked it up - Clarke played for Erasure, Yaz, and other bands.
I can’t say I remember too much about any of these bands. Just that their music was the soundtrack to life in the mid to late 80’s, which was a great time to be alive.
Erasure played (remade) many 50s and 60s songs, and a few of their own. Some really good.
Yaz, most in the states didn't know of them, I learned of them (singer plus Vince Clarke) because I went to dance clubs about 3x per week during Uni 🤩..
Actual name is Yazoo (UK), but there was some name conflict here in the states, so band was called Yaz here.
If you went clubbing back in mid-late 80s, you should know a couple of Yazoo's songs:
Yazoo - Don't Go (Official HD Video)Yazoo - Situation (got chillbumps after hearing this one again.. memories 😏😜)
