Ryder was a purpose-made pop group led by Maynard Williams whose primary purpose was to represent the United Kingdom at the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest in Bergen, Norway.
The song was the first UK Eurovision entry to fail to reach the top 75 since 1964, managing a peak of only #98.
Williams, the son of actor Bill Maynard, had previously reached the final 24 of the UK heat in 1985.
He had earlier featured in the BBC's 1975 Christmas production Great Big Groovy Horse, a rock opera based on the story of the Trojan Horse shown on BBC2 starring Julie Covington, Bernard Cribbins and Paul Jones.
