"Never Trust A Stranger" by Kim Wilde

Kim Wilde is an English singer and songwriter best known for her rendition of "You Keep Me Hangin' On," a song that she took to #1 in 1987 just as The Supremes did in 1966. Wilde is the daughter of another chart artist, Marty Wilde, who also recorded under the moniker Shannon. Marty Wilde was a co-writer on a number of his daughter's songs.

Kim Wilde first hit the US charts in 1981 with her classic "Kids In America," which reached #25, her second biggest song. Her chart career in the US ended abruptly in 1988 after "You Came" stalled at #41.

"Never Trust A Stranger" arguably would have made a better follow-up to "You Keep Me Hangin' On." The song is more energetic and filled with the 80s synths blasts that made its predecessor famous. Plus, the song has a superb vocal in the chorus that is worth the wait. It appears on her 1988 album, "Close."
