The Communards

The Communards were a British synth-pop duo formed in London in 1985. They consisted of Scottish singer Jimmy Somerville and English musician Richard Coles. They are best known for their cover versions of "Don't Leave Me This Way", originally recorded by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass, and of the Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye". The name Communards refers to the revolutionaries of the 1871 Paris Commune.
