So… what do we know about T’Pau?

The only thing I recall about them is that their lead singer suffered from this incident:
‘Carol Decker of T’Pau (China In Your Hand) came offstage after a gig to find that a bunch of lads had gained access to her dressing room and – there’s no polite way of putting this – left so much discarded semen on her clothes it looked like an elephant had wanked over them.’

Mr.Brum, Celia Lovsky had the same problem with William Shatner.
What was found on her clothes had nothing to do with sailors.

Decker allegedly had a long-running feud with Cliff Richard, after she mocked him onstage at an Ivor Novello award ceremony; hence this letter to ‘Viz’ from a J Venturi of Carshalton:
” After a concert, Carol Decker out of T’Pau once famously returned to her dressing room to find her clothes spattered with semen. Although the culprit has never been found, I find it interesting that Cliff Richard has never explicitly denied being responsible. As a Christian, if he swore on the Bible that he had never ejaculated onto Ms Decker’s clothing I would have no option but to accept that he was telling the truth. So why doesn’t he clear the air? Something to hide, perhaps?”

Of the four acts cited in Mary’s CD collection, T’Pau were the only ones whose work could be vaguely regarded as sitting within the AOR oevre. Mind, “Everything’s either MOR or a bland approximation of soul with all the elements that make it appealing excised” wouldn’t have scanned as well.

Rumoured by Trekkies (who are rarely wrong) to be Spock’s grandmother. Or great-grandmother.
