Kim Wilde (born Kim Smith, 18 November 1960 in Chiswick, West London) is an English pop singer. Wilde burst onto the music scene in 1981 with the new wave classic "Kids in America", which hit number two in the UK Singles Chart.
Major U.S. success eluded her until 1987, when she topped the charts with her version of The Supremes' hit "You Keep Me Hangin' On". Since 1998, Wilde had an alternative career as a gardener, whilst still being active in music.
