Celebrating the 40th anniversary of their album After the Snow, Modern English appeared on The Tonight Show to perform their 1982 single “I Melt With You.”
Playing a straight-forward rendition of what was to become the band’s most successful track, the British group joined the late-night program as part of an all-’80s show, which included fellow celebs Jennifer Beals, Lea Thompson, and Ralph Macchio.
Having recently wrapped the third leg of their trek in Buffalo, Modern English have been on tour in the U.S. throughout the year and in 2020, the band recorded their “Lockdown Version” of “I Melt With You” as a download to benefit the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA).
About the project frontman Robbie Grey explained “We were all at our homes in the U.K. apart from [guitarist] Daniel [Jakubovic] who was in Los Angeles.” “We decided to record ‘I Melt With You’ to put a smile on people’s faces. We are aware of how much the song is loved and just thought a lockdown version would make people happy in these crazy times.”
