I didn't realise this at the time, but the single 'Menage a trois' by K-Ram sounds a lot like the early singles by Wham!. It didn't help them a lot, because the single flopped in the UK. Surprisingly though, it was a hit in the Netherlands, peaking at number 28. The music video appeared regularly on Music Box and Sky Channel, the European satellite channels who were broadcasting videos at the time.
Singer Amanda Redington subsequently worked as a VJ on Music Box and got involved with Dutch singer/songwriter Frank Boeijen. They were together for a few years, which is more than we can say for K-Ram: they disappeared without a trace.
