Animotion - Obsession (12" Remix)

 

Originally written and recorded as a duet by Holly Knight and Michael Des Barres in 1983 (Des Barres was recovering from a heroin addiction, so "Obsession" was a familiar word to him but he wanted to write about something that would appeal to a much wider audience, like love...or sex), the song was covered in 1984 by the Los Angeles-based synthpop band Animotion for their self-titled debut album. This version became a success in several countries and remains their biggest hit.
