The band started gaining appearances on Top of the Pops (1985) and The Young Ones (1984) which helped trigger their fame amongst a wider audience with hits such as "Moonlight Romance" and "Excitable." The band broke into the United States with the "Montego Bay" in 1986. That same year saw the release of their self-titled full length album released on Island Records.
Breaking up in 1987, Anne-Marie Ruddock, Sharon Bailey and Lesley Beach continued to play on as Amazulu II, to little success. Ruddock went on to perform in the Alex Cox film Straight to Hell. The most notable member of the band with later success is Clare Kenny who went on to join Coming Up Roses, and eventually becoming a popular session player performing with Sinead O'Connor, Shakespears Sister and Damien Dempsey.

Too Good to be Forgotten
Amazulu Lyrics
Too good to be forgotten
Too good to be forgotten.
Benny was a boy I met while walking home one day
He made me forget my marbles
He said he had another game to play.
One thing led to another
Now what more can T sar?
Just one of the reasons why I got him by my side today.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
No
I'll never let him get away.
One in a million people
Shout it from the highest steeple.
He's just one of the few
Got my mind
Got my life wrapped up in love!
Well
His hair was shiny
Long and black
It smelled so sweet and bright
I thought of him and dreamed of him all night affer night.
I love the ground he walks on
The very air he breathes
I ain't never gonna leave him 'cause I am as happy as Ican be.
He's just too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?...
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
No
I'll never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
No
I'll never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Fifty million reasons why I'll never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
No
I'll never let him get away.
