and their 1986 hit If You Leave. OMD originated out of the Wirral Peninsula in Merseyside, England back in 1978, which presently consists of members Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Malcolm Holmes, and Martin Cooper. McCluskey and Humphreys were the founding members of the band and are considered the 'core members' to this very day. If You Leave was a single recorded specifically for the John Hughes classic 80's film soundtrack to his film Pretty in Pink , and it was used mainly for the final scene of the movie. It would be OMD's biggest hit in the USA, peaking at #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart that year, at the same time it would only reach #46 on the UK Singles Chart. Also, for those of you who follow this vlog closely you will notice that this song was featured at #45 on VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown.
