Her soulful version never hit the UK charts, but it paved the way for Soft Cell’s […]

For many teenagers across the UK in the 80s and 90s, it was a first taste of independence, responsibility, and of course, cash in hand. Whether it was to fund the latest cassette, CD, or a night out at the local youth club, a Saturday job was more than just pocket money. It was a badge of honour.
