Kim Wilde was born in Chiswick, West London on November 18th, 1960 under the starsign of Scorpio. She moved with her family to Hertfordshire at the age of 9 where she was educated at Presdales School, Ware, before completing a foundation course at St Albans College of Art & Design in 1980. Kim was signed to Mickie Most's RAK Records in 1980 and released her first single Kids in America in January 1981.
The debut album 'Kim Wilde' followed later that year and spawned a further two hits, 'Chequered love' and 'Water on glass'. Kim recorded a total of three albums for RAK Records before signing to MCA Records in the summer of 1984.
Seven subsequent albums for MCA Records have included international hits such as 'Another Step (closer to you)', 'You came', 'Never trust a stranger', 'Four letter word', 'If I can't have you' and a remake of the Supremes classic 'You keep me hangin' on' -- Kim's first USA Number 1 single in 1987 -- all of which have contributed to total worldwide album and single sales in excess of 7 million and 12 million respectively. This same period corresponded with Kim's development as a songwriter having written or co-written the majority of the MCA LP's including many of the above hit singles.

I do like this line up. Not sure if that's the same lead guitar player from 2007 or 2008 though.
