When In Rome - The Promise (1988)


When in Rome are an English New Wave trio, originally consisting of vocalists Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann, and keyboards player Michael Floreale. They are best known for their 1988 single, " The Promise ' .
The Promise," was first issued as a 12" dance record.. When the song became popular, hitting the top of Billboard's Dance Club Play chart, Virgin ordered an album. A remixed version of "The Promise" was the first single from their self-titled debut album. It was an instant success, barely missing the Top Ten in the United States, peaking at #11.Months later, the trio reached Billboard's pop chart's lower reaches for the last time with "Heaven Knows" (#95, 1990) Additional singles did little on the charts, and the group ultimately faded away.

"The Promise" was also featured in the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite. The band Anberlin included a cover version of "The Promise" on the special edition of their 2007 album Cities.
