32 years ago today Mel Died at the Tender age of 23 years old. Think about it 23 years old, and she still Lived long enough to leave her mark on the World Forever. S.I.P Queen 🙏🏾! BIG UP KIM EVERYTIME 👊🏾

I still remember the news about Mel's cancer like it was yesterday. It was truly shocking and gut wrenching. What we felt back then was particularly awful as well, because back then cancer treatments weren't as advanced as nowadays. So it felt like she'd been given a death sentence. I was gutted, as were my friends. 23 is shocking.

Just watched the SAW documentary on Ch5. So moving to witness Pete Waterman in tears when describing the recording of this song. After all these years and the man has lost a child himself and he is still affected by Mel's death. Kim was as stoic as ever. I loved Mel and Kim, their talent, their outfits and the choreography ❤️

Im American, I remember when this came out, I thought; what a great song but what a dumb video. I was probably in Eighth grade. The funny thing is 25 + years on several things have changed. I realize the one sister was too ill to make vid (or had passed on :/ ) and the other one was prob too broken to even think about being in a vid. 2ndly having lived and had my heart broken, whoever directed the vid came up w an amazing story to go w the song. Being dumped is like being at a party w someone you love and having them leave you and they continue to party but you’re now on your own. Amazing actualization of the song and the tribute pic of them at the end was great touch. My hats off to whoever put this together. It took us 20 + years of being delayed but we finally got it! 👍🏾 Great song Great singers Great Video

I am a teenager of the 80s, this video reminds me so many memories when I was on vacation at the house of my grandparents in Liège, Belgium. I was happy to discover a new video of Mel & Kim and at the same time we felt that something was coming to an end … ps: the blonde dancer in the video is called Jane Sturdy, despite the years that have passed, she remained a beautiful woman. RIP Mel, keep on rocking Kim. Cheers. Dony

Back to the 1980s and back to my 20s... very happy days. Loved Mel and Kim. Two English cockney girls who became huge stars, yet remained very down to earth and likeable. Mel's death was a stunning tragedy - but she left some lovely memories behind - and I speak as just a fan of the duo. I'm sure her family and friends feel blessed that she was in their lives.

I normally hated Stock, Aitken and Waterman's commercial, mass-marketed pop sound. Even as a kid at primary school I thought most of their stuff (e.g. Big Fun, Rick Astley, Jason & Kylie etc.) to be a load of crap. I'll admit though that they did produce a number of tunes that were undeniably catchy and certainly deserved to be hits. This is one of them. Still sounds just as good today as it did when I was 10 years old!

I don't think It's that they didn't want anyone to know, In an interview with the late sir Terry Wogan around this time Mel said she was using walking sticks. She was unable to dance. You could see that like my own mother, who died of cancer too, that her face was blown up from being prescribed steroid based medication as part of her treatment. You can find the interview on Wogan here on you tube
