The key change in Don’t Leave Me This Way by The Communards is the best key change in pop. I shall be taking no further questions at this time.

"Don't leave me this way" - The Communards
Second week at number one, and a new studio performance, here Jimmy starts on the same stage as Richard and Sarah-Jane.
The big brass section get their moment in the spotlight, and there's a lovely lighting effect during the "aaaaaaah" - all the neon freezes on and the lights stop flashing.

"There's more to love (than boy meets girl)" - The Communards
Jimmy is in smart white shirt and cream trousers; Richard has a dark jacket over a message t-shirt; the studio is lit in a very nice gold light.
Who in this mystery year would have put *Richard Coles* as the celebrity vicar from this lot?

The Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way
WIKI
In 1986, the song was covered by British duo the Communards (Jimmy Somerville and Richard Coles) in a hi-NRG version. This recording topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks in September 1986,[56] becoming the best-selling single of the year in the United Kingdom. The featured guest vocalist was jazz singer Sarah Jane Morris. -
Two of the year's biggest hits end this show - Boris Gardner and The Communards.
Viewed through modern eyes, Boris was a bit creepy.
The Communards evoke Orwell's "1984" through the framing of the 1983 film of "1984".

2. Richard Coles of #TheCommunards became a Church of England reverend and Vicar of Finedon
3. #AlGreen became a pastor and Reverend of the Full Gospel Tabernacle church in Memphis
4. Hiphop pioneer #KurtisBlow became an ordained minister of his own Hip Hop Church in Harlem
