I cried when he left Depeche Mode...I thought it was the end of the band. So glad it was a beginning for all of them.

Can anybody imagine what would happen had Depeche Mode sung the song as originally intended? No offense because I love Depeche, but Dave Gahan had a pretty grating voice at the time & as catchy as the song was, there was no way that "Only You" would have been beloved as it still is had it been a Depeche Mode song. Depeche turning it down was a blessing in disguise because it allowed the amazing Alison Moyet to be discovered & Yazoo 2 exist & make such a unique combination of electronica & blues

@RocStarr913

I sort of agree.

But Gahan back then, with tracks like "See You" has shown an ability to sing soft songs.

Still, Moyet's voice has a soulful depth that Gahan's male voice would not have been able to duplicate.

Vince Clarke is a genius, he had so much influence on pop music

[123xxrobertx]

@hatersfate2 I think he had and he 's still his own influence on music .. i wish he 'd be active as soon as possible . Vince had been doing really decisive songs over our era .

Omg i remember seeing this on Top of the Pops, i was living round the corner to vince in Vange Hill drive Basildon Essex so after seeing his lovely yellow mazda outside his flat we knocked for an autography to our surprise the very lovely and vocal alison answered the door and told us to f**ck off.lol...well no hard feelings vince well done great music still to this day

[johnwills]

So glad Vince didn't go back to the "day job", we would have missed out on some wonderful music over the last 20 years.
