Bucks Fizz (band)
Bucks Fizz were a British pop group that achieved success in the 1980s, most notably for winning the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Making Your Mind Up". The group was formed in January 1981 specifically for the contest and comprised four vocalists: Bobby G, Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston. They received attention for the dance routine which accompanied the song, in which the male members of the group ripped the female members' outer skirts off to reveal much shorter mini-skirts beneath. The group went on to have a successful career around the world (although they were commercially unsuccessful in the United States), but the UK remained their biggest market, where they had three No.1 singles with "Making Your Mind Up" (1981), " The Land of Make Believe" (1981) and "My Camera Never Lies" (1982) and became one of the top-selling groups of the 1980s. They also had UK Top 10 hits with "Now Those Days Are Gone" (1982), "If You Can't Stand the Heat" (1982), " Wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
My Camera Never Lies
"My Camera Never Lies" is a 1982 single by pop group Bucks Fizz. It became the group's second consecutive (and third overall) UK number-one in April 1982. The song was written by Andy Hill and Nichola Martin, and was featured on Bucks Fizz's second album '' Are You Ready''. Overview Background "My Camera Never Lies" was written by Andy Hill and Nichola Martin and produced by Andy Hill. Hill was the group's regular songwriter and producer, while Martin had been the woman who had put the group together and occasionally co-wrote some songs. This was her only No. 1 hit, although she also co-penned the follow-up, "Now Those Days Are Gone", which was a top 10 hit. Hill recorded the male vocals first since they were more straightforward and then added in the female parts. He considered the middle section with the members repeating "my camera" at each other to be the most complex part, but commended the group for mastering this sequence without prior rehearsal. The lyrics concern a man ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
When We Were Young (Bucks Fizz Song)
"When We Were Young" is a 1983 single by UK pop group Bucks Fizz. The track features lead vocals by band member Jay Aston. The song became their sixth top-ten-hit in the UK and it is one of their biggest hits in Europe. Overview Song information The song was written by Warren Harry (under the name Warren Bacall) and was produced by Brian Tench and Andy Hill—the first time Hill had not solely produced one of the group's singles. The song's lyrics tell of a woman in old age, who laments the fact that she has lost her youth and looks. The song was notable for its change in direction for the group. The production was heavy and the song had an ominous tone far removed from the group's usual pop sound. It was the first and only single to feature lead vocals by Jay Aston. Aston's vocals were notably different from her solo appearances on previous songs (e.g. "Getting Kinda Lonely" on ''Bucks Fizz'' and "Easy Love" on ''Are You Ready''). At the time of release, Aston said of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
What's Love Got To Do With It (song)
"What's Love Got to Do with It" is a song recorded by the American singer Tina Turner, released in 1984. It was taken from her fifth solo album, ''Private Dancer'' (1984), and became Turner's most successful single. Although Turner had already scored a late-1983 Top 30 hit with her rendition of " Let's Stay Together", "What's Love Got to Do with It" gave Turner her first and only ''Billboard'' Hot 100 No. 1 single, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide. At the time, aged 44, she became the oldest solo female artist to top the Hot 100 chart. It was the second-biggest single of 1984 in the U.S. and the 17th-biggest in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number three. It ranked second on the ''Billboard'' Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1984. The song received three awards at the 1985 Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. In 1993, the song's title was used as the title for the biographical film about Turner's life. In 201 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Among the more notable versions are the singles released by Megadeth, Billy Ray Cyrus and Jessica Simpson. Nancy Sinatra version The song was written by Lee Hazlewood; it was inspired by a line spoken by Frank Sinatra in the comedy-western film ''4 for Texas'' (1963): "They tell me them boots ain't built for walkin'." Nancy Sinatra's version of the song was released as a single in December 1965, as the second song to be taken from her debut album, '' Boots'' (1966), and was a follow-up to the minor hit "So Long, Babe".

It featured on the group's third album ''Hand Cut''. Overview Song information "Run for Your Life" was written by the group's regular songwriter Andy Hill and Ian Bairnson, who was a prolific session guitarist and had worked with Bucks Fizz many times.

Rules Of The Game (song)
"Rules of the Game" is a 1983 single by UK pop group Bucks Fizz. It fared poorly in the UK Charts, becoming their first single to miss the top 40. Overview The song was written by Warren Harry (under the name Warren Bacall), who had written their top 10 hit " When We Were Young" a few months earlier. It was produced by Brian Tench with co-production by Andy Hill. Released in November 1983, it proved to be one of the group's least successful singles, peaking at No.57. Despite this, it remained on the Top 100 Chart for 10 weeks. The record's chart failure was commented on by the group some months later, with member Jay Aston stating; "It didn't get played. It came out a bit too soon after ' London Town' and got a bit lost among the Christmas stuff". Bobby G agreed that the record company was putting out too many singles at the time, "We gave them a lot of material and record companies, being what they are, released it." Following this they decided simply to not give any of their ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Piece Of The Action
"Piece of the Action" is the second single by pop group Bucks Fizz, the follow-up to the Eurovision-winning song "Making Your Mind Up". It was released in May 1981 and became a UK top 20 hit. Overview Following the group's success at the ''Eurovision Song Contest'', their record company, who had signed them for an album deal, were keen to release a follow-up single. "Piece of the Action" had already been recorded by the group prior to the contest and was seen as the perfect pop vehicle to move them away from the style of "Making Your Mind Up". Bill Kimber, executive with RCA Records, was keen to see Bucks Fizz continue successfully, as he later recalled; "One thing that happens with Eurovision groups is that they have one single as a result of the contest and then they quickly throw out another single which isn't good enough and everybody forgets them. With Bucks Fizz we worked very hard to get a song that was strong and had good value radio-wise, commercially and was well-prod ...

One Of Those Nights (Bucks Fizz Song)
"One of Those Nights" is a 1981 single by UK pop group Bucks Fizz. Written by Steve Glen, Mike Burns and Dave Most, it was the group's third single and their third UK top 20 hit. Background The song was released in August 1981 and was the group's third single, following on from their win at the Eurovision Song Contest earlier in the year. The single reached No.20 in the UK Charts and remained in the top 75 for 10 weeks. "One of Those Nights" featured on the group's debut album, ''Bucks Fizz'', which was released two weeks earlier. In the US and Canada, the song was included on their debut release there in 1982.

David Van Day of the pop duo, Dollar stated that they were offered the song some months earlier, but declined it. In a curious twist, Dollar were at No.19, while this song ...

Now Those Days Are Gone
"Now Those Days Are Gone" is a single by UK pop group Bucks Fizz. It became a UK top ten hit in July 1982 and featured on the group's album ''Are You Ready''. The song was nominated for an Ivor Novello award the following year. Overview Background Written by Andy Hill and Nichola Martin and produced by Hill, this was the group's only single to feature member Mike Nolan on lead vocals, it was also the last to be co-written by Martin, who founded the group. The song was a stark contrast to the group's singles up to this point, which had all featured very full pop productions, this time, the song was partly an a cappella piece with soft harmonies and a gentle orchestral build towards the end. Years later, Nolan commented on the recording of the song saying that he favoured another ballad from the album called "Love Dies Hard" but it had already been given to other male member Bobby G. The vocal harmonies were very intricate and took many takes to get right in the studio. When t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
