Spandau Ballet ~ The New Romantics

Let's take a trip back to the Eighties and remember the music of British New Romantic group, Spandau Ballet - its members being Gary Kemp, Tony Hadley, Steve Norman, John Keeble and Martin Kemp.

From dance tunes to ballads, Spandau Ballet became one of the most popular bands in the UK and Europe and, for a short period of time, their tunes became a staple of US radio stations. This exposure in America gave them four hit singles, but only two reached the Top 30 - True and Gold, both of which had Top two placings in the UK.

In their homeland, the band actually produced twenty Top 50 hits, some of which can be enjoyed in the videos below.

A Look At Spandau Ballet 

Spandau Ballet Band History

Spandau Ballet are a British band who formed in London in the late 1970s. Initially inspired by the New Romantic fashion, their music has featured a mixture of funk, jazz, soul and synthpop. They were one of the most successful bands of the 1980s, achieving ten Top Ten singles and four Top Ten albums in the UK between 1979 and 1990. The band split acrimoniously in 1990, but announced their reunion in 2009.

Spandau Ballet - The No.1 Hit 

1983: Spandau Ballet - True

"True" is the title cut from the band's most popular album from 1983.

Composed by group leader Gary Kemp, it is a six-minute (in its original album version) slow ballad-like love song that in part pays tribute to the late Motown artist Marvin Gaye and the sound he helped to establish.
