Wink Covers Part 1

Wink was a late 80s early 90s pop duo, with nearly half of their work being covers, from obscure Euro 80s hits to oldies.  While their first single, "Sugar Baby Love" was a cover, they didn't get put on the map until their 3rd single, a cover of Kylie Minogue's "Turn It Into Love" which had just come out the same year.

Consisting of Shoko Aida (相田翔子) and Sachiko Suzuki (鈴木早智子), they lasted till 1996 and had to quit from failing sales.  They were really a product of late 80s idol groups and I guess couldn't keep up with the times.

While Shoko is still on talk shows and acting, Sachiko has had a bit of scandal with releasing a soft porn movie and cheating with a married actor!  But... check out their Wink work... ahem... Wink @ amazon.co.jp
