Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Born to Run

Frankie Goes to Hollywood (FGTH) fue un grupo de synth pop británico, formado en Liverpool, a principios de los años 80. Consiguieron mucho éxito en el Reino Unido y en otros países con canciones como Relax, cuya letra aludía explícitamente a la homosexualidad, Two Tribes, la balada The Power of Love y Welcome to the Pleasuredome. Su formación incluía a Holly Johnson (previamente bajista de Big In Japan) y Paul Rutherford (años antes cantante de The Spitfire Boys) como vocalistas, Mark O'Toole y Brian Nash, respectivamente, al bajo y a la guitarra, y Peter Gill a la batería. El primer sencillo del grupo, Relax, fue categorizado por la BBC como número seis en la lista de éxitos, y se mantendría en las posiciones más altas entre los sencillos más vendidos en el Reino Unido durante cinco semanas consecutivas, disfrutando de un éxito que se mantendría hasta 1984 y convirtiéndose en el séptimo sencillo más vendido en ese país de todos los tiempos. Después del éxito de Two Tribes y The Power of Love, FGTH se convirtió en el segundo grupo en la historia del Reino Unido que conseguía alcanzar el número uno con sus tres primeros sencillos; el primero fue Gerry and the Pacemakers en 1964.

Pauline Henry - Feel Like Makin' Love

Pauline Henry  is a British Jamaican recording artist. She was the vocalist in the Scottish band The Chimes, best known for their 1990 cover version of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", between 1988 and 1991. Following her departure from the group, Henry embarked on a solo career, and achieved five UK top 40 singles between 1993 and 1996. In early 1988,  Edinburgh-based Mike Peden and James Locke were looking to form a band to record some songs they had written, but had not yet found a suitable vocalist. Henry's name was passed on to them, and after hearing a tape of her voice played over the telephone, they arranged to meet her.  Initially intending for Henry to record songs they had already written, the group soon evolved into a partnership where Henry also contributed to the songwriting.  Naming themselves The Chimes, the group were signed to CBS Records after a representative from the label saw them perform live in Edinburgh.  The group's first single, "1-2-3", produced by Jazzie B and Nellee Hooper, was released in August 1989 and peaked at #60 in the UK.  Their version of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" found the group greater success, reaching #6 in the UK the following year.  The Chimes' self-titled debut album was released in 1990, and reached the top 20 in the UK, Australia, Austria,  and New Zealand. With subsequent singles faring less well on the charts, the band split up in 1991. Henry then embarked on a solo career, with her first solo single, "Too Many People", reaching #38 in the UK in September 1993. Her next single, a cover version of Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love", was a top 20 hit in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Henry's debut album, Pauline, was released in 1994, and reached the top 50 in the UK and Australia. A second solo album, Do Over, followed in 1996. Henry then took a hiatus from her recording career, and obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree and a masters degree in Intellectual Property Law. In 2016, Henry recorded a new version of The Chimes' song "Heaven" for the expanded re-issue of The Chimes' only album.

       

Damien Leith - You Got It

Damien Leo Leith is an Irish-Australian singer–songwriter. He was the winner of the Network Ten music contest Australian Idol 2006. Since winning the title, Leith has released seven albums, four of which peaked in the top two of the ARIA Charts, including two number ones. He has also released eight singles. He has been awarded seven platinum and one gold certification for albums and singles by ARIA, which equates to sales of just over half a million. Only following determined coaxing by friends, Leith auditioned for the 4th series of Network Ten's Australian Idol along with some 25,000 other contestants. He was selected by the judges as one of the final 24 contestants, and was the first person voted into the competition's top 12 as the result of a nationwide viewer vote. He was praised by the show's judges for his falsetto technique, which he used regularly in performances. For the first time, Australian Idol 2006 permitted contestants to perform with instruments, and Leith accompanied himself on guitar for his renditions of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Alex Lloyd's "Never Meant to Fail" and Ben Harper's "Waiting On an Angel", and on piano for his rendition of Split Enz's "Message to My Girl". Leith also played piano for the non-competition round "Up Close and Personal" night, when he performed his original song "Sky". Despite adverse comments from judges Mark Holden and Kyle Sandilands in relation to Leith's appearance and a performance of Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" on the "Disco" theme night, which drew ridicule from Holden, the judges' assessments of Leith's performances were usually positive with Holden labelling him a 'darkhorse' early in the competition. His renditions of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", Roy Orbison's "Crying", Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" each earned Leith a "Touchdown" from Mark Holden, Holden's ultimate accolade for an excellent performance. Leith holds the record (with Australian Idol 2004 winner Casey Donovan) for being awarded the most touchdowns, at four apiece. Sandilands also stated that the family of Roy Orbison had contacted the Australian Idol producers requesting a copy of Leith's performance of "Crying". Although he was one of the most popular interviewees on Idol's behind-the-scenes show Idol Backstage, he was not expected by betting agencies to win the competition with Dean Geyer punted as the favourite to win throughout. Leith is one of only few contestants to never land in the Bottom 2 or bottom 3 throughout their series, during a live broadcast from the Sydney Opera House, Leith was announced the winner, over runner-up Jessica Mauboy. At age 30, at the time Leith became the second oldest winner of any Idol series in the World. Controversy among viewers was created as Leith was not an Australian citizen at the time of winning the Australian Idol
