Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Posted about 5 years ago
.Relax (Body Double)..Frankie Goes to Hollywood (FGTH) was one of the most controversial and commercially successful UK new wave acts of the early 1980s. The group's debut single "Relax" was famously banned by the BBC while at number six in the charts, and subsequently topped the UK singles chart for five consecutive weeks, going on to enjoy prolonged chart success throughout 1984 and ultimately becoming the seventh best-selling UK single of all time (as of May 2006). Following the phenomenal follow-up success of "Two Tribes" and the seasonal "The Power Of Love", FGTH became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach number one with their first three singles..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Goes_To_Hollywood.http://frankiesay.com/.Two Tribes - World Premier..Oh!

  1. reverend geoffrey says i was in high school when frankie came out. i had the singles, the t-shirts, all that. i saw 'em live in n.y.c., and considering the fact that trevor horn produced them, it sounded like they pulled it off.
