''The below article is about "Yazoo" the music band. For alternate meanings, see Yazoo (disambiguation).

"Yazoo" (known as "Yaz" in the U.S.) were an English electropop duo from Basildon, Essex, who had a number of top ten hits in the British and American charts in the early 1980s. They were formed in 1981, taking their name from the former Yazoo lands of the U.S. state of Georgia which later became Mississippi and Alabama.

Yazoo consisted of:

*Alison Moyet - singer

*Vince Clarke - synthesizers

Their biggest hits included the singles "Only You" (later successfully covered by the socialist acapella group The Flying Pickets), "Don't Go" and "Situation". They also produced an album entitled ''Upstairs at Eric's''.

After the band split in 1983, Alison Moyet went on to a successful solo career. Vince, who had previously been a member of the group Depeche Mode, went on to become the joint founder of the pop group Erasure.
