"The Promise You Made" was Cock Robin's big European hit, a Peter Kingsbery song, words and music, from the American pop rock band's self-titled 1985 debut on Columbia. Kingsbery and Anna LaCazio share the lead vocal, Louis Molino handles drums and percussion, and Steve Hillage, producing and mixing, lacquers the whole thing in a moody, after-midnight new wave sheen.
America got the single in November 1985, but Europe is where it caught fire, early in 1986. It ruled the Flanders chart in Belgium for five weeks of an 11-week run, topped the Dutch Top 40, went platinum in the Netherlands and made that country's year-end top ten. In France it held a top-ten place for 12 weeks, peaked at number four and lingered in the top 50 for 24, earning a gold disc and becoming the band's biggest single there.
