Formada en Shepherd's Bush, Londres, Inglaterra, en 1978, The Passions fue una banda de post-punk y new wave más conocida por su éxito de 1981 "I'm in Love with a German Film Star" El grupo fue fundado por la guitarrista y vocalista Barbara Gogan y el batería Richard Williams -ambos antiguos miembros de la banda punk The Derelicts- y la bajista Claire Bidwell. Otros miembros originales eran el vocalista Mitch Barker y el guitarrista Dack Dyde. Originalmente se hacían llamar Rivers of Passion, pero acortaron su nombre a The Passions y lanzaron el single independiente "Needles and Pills" (1979). El sencillo no llegó a las listas de ventas, pero llamó la atención del DJ John Peel y de Fiction Records, que fichó al grupo. El vocalista Mitch Barker abandonó el grupo y Gogan se hizo cargo de la voz principal cuando el grupo grabó su primera sesión con Peel a finales de 1979. The Passions publicaron el sencillo "Hunted" y su álbum de debut, Michael & Miranda, en 1980. Tras salir de gira con sus compañeros de sello The Cure, Claire Bidwell abandonó el grupo, que acabó siendo abandonado por Fiction Records. The Passions se recuperaron rápidamente y firmaron con Polydor Records y publicaron el sencillo "The Swimmer" Su cuarto sencillo, "I'm In Love with a German Film Star", se publicó en enero de 1981 y se convirtió en un éxito en Europa, alcanzando el Top 30 en el Reino Unido e Irlanda. The Passions promocionaron el sencillo en la radio y la televisión, y aparecieron dos veces en Top of the Pops. El grupo publicó su segundo álbum, Thirty Thousand Feet Over China (1981), y alcanzó el número 92 en la lista de álbumes del Reino Unido. Sin embargo, el grupo no pudo mantener el impulso comercial y no logró un éxito significativo con los siguientes sencillos ni con su tercer álbum, Sanctuary (1982), y se separó en 1983. La música del grupo siguió viva gracias a recopilaciones y reediciones, mientras que su único éxito, "I'm in Love with a German Film Star", fue versionado posteriormente por Foo Fighters, Chris Whitley, Sam Taylor- Wood y Dubstar.
