So that explains it...

 

Yep. From a Rolling Stone interview...

Speaking of your ballads, do you happen to have the bust that the blind woman sculpted from the "Hello" video?

 

That bust went out with the video. It fell off the table in the middle of the last take. All I can tell you is I remember going to Giraldi, the director, and going, "It doesn't look like me, Bob." And he said, "Lionel . . . she's blind." Oh. OK. But I never kept the bust. I wish I had, I could put it on eBay.

That explains so much really. Odd that the British band was tops in the US at the time and vice versa.

Eddy Grant was the guy that did Electric Avenue. He actually had a number of hits internationally, that being one of them.
