Yaz was a short-lived but quite successful synth-dance duo from the early '80s. Comprised of synthesizer player Vince Clarke and singer Alison Moyet, the group (known as Yazoo in Europe) formed in 1981, after Clarke left Depeche Mode (Clarke had penned almost all of Depeche Mode's debut album, Speak & Spell, including their early dancefloor hit "Just Can't Get Enough"), and Moyet had recently exited an obscure R&B cover band, the Screamin' Ab dabs.
