You're talking about The Normal, who were actually Robert Rental and Thomas Leer. Guess you aren't into that "big, industrial sound", eh? Good thing you don't get a lot of Throbbing Gristle or Einsturzende Neubauten on you local radio.... De gustibus, G

So you want to know who did 'Warm Leatherette' huh? If it's the
same one I've heard it's by Grace Jones, the girl who makes Carl Lewis'
flat top haircut seem tame in comparison. She also redid a song by a
group called 'Joy Division' (my favorite band) but I can't recall the song.
Maybe someone out there can help...Was it She's Lost Control?
