Only You (No.17)
Back To 1982Choose A Different YearNext Video
"Only You" was written by Vince Clarke in 1981 while he was still an active member of Depeche Mode.
Clarke, before he left the band, had asked DM if they wanted to record it, but the band passed on his offer, so he left DM and formed Yazzo with Alison Moyet in late 1981.
Yazoo released the song as their debut single, where it went on to peak at No.2 in the UK Charts in April 1982, and this would be the band's highest chart position they would reach in the UK.
