Vince Clarke was a founding member of Depeche Mode and sole writer of their first three singles (including the breakthrough Top 10 hit Just Cant Get Enough). After leaving the band in late 1981, Clarke forged an equally notable career with the duo Yazoo (known as Yaz in the U.S.). Heavenly Action is a song by the British synthpop duo Erasure, released in November 1985 as their second single. Issued by Mute Records in the UK and Sire Records in the U.S., the single proved to be the second commercial failure for the duo (following Who Needs Love Like That). The mid-tempo pop song, written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, is a straightforward ode to love. The music video features Clarke and Bell in an outer space/celestial setting, with several young children appearing as angels. To this day, Heavenly Action remains Erasures lowest-charting single on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 100. In the United States, Heavenly Action was paired with Who Needs Love Like That on the 12 inch single and, as a double-sided hit, climbed to number eight on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The song was later included on the duos debut album Wonderland, released in June 1986. https://youtube/watch?v=9xCKUCxZeok
