Kim Wilde
 In
the late 70's, veteran rocker Marty Wilde had the idea of
co-writing songs with his failed pop star son, Ricky, for his
not-unattractive daughter Kim.
Their jumping off point was a collision of synth pop and New
Wave entitled Kids In America (1981).
It launched a run of hits; Chequered Love, Water
On Glass, View From A Bridge and the deliriously
weird Cambodia in which Kim sang about the
micro-sociological effects of US foreign policy.
Her second technofied phase (see 1986's You Keep Me Hanging
On) wasn't nearly as interesting.
