Berlin (band)

Berlin was a new wave band featuring lead singer Terri Nunn. Berlin was formed not in Germany (as the group/singer's title suggests), but in Orange County, California. Their first significant hit was the synth-driven "Sex (I'm A...)", but it was "Take My Breath Away" (from the movie Top Gun) that became their best selling single in 1986. They had two other hits: "The Metro," which was later covered by System of a Down, Alkaline Trio and The Anix, and "No More Words."
