    Spandau Ballet are one of Britain’s great iconic bands having sold over 25 million records, scored numerous multi-platinum albums and amassed 23 hit singles across the globe since their humble beginnings as a group of friends with dreams of stardom in the late 1970s. It wasn’t long before they became fully-fledged members of the iconic Blitz Club scene and established themselves as one of the super-groups of the 80s.
    The band's classic line-up features brothers Gary and Martin Kemp on guitars, vocalist Tony Hadley, saxophonist Steve Norman and drummer John Keeble.
    After two decades apart, the band reformed in 2009, embarking on a sold-out tour. In 2014 the band released a critically lauded documentary film ‘Soul Boys Of The Western World’ and returned to the studio recording three new tracks 'Steal', 'Soul Boy' and 'This Is The Love' for the anthology 'The Story'. ‘
    This has been followed by the ‘Soulboys Of The Western World’ world tour wowing crowds and critics alike with the band making rapturous returns for the first time in 25 years to USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and parts of mainland Europe.
    Spandau Ballet’s hits include Gold, True, To Cut A Long Story Short, Through The Barricades and many more.

    @ChillingWarrior I'm a black man from philly I used to get laughed at from my friens because I liked this song. But it gave me a feeling at a young age when the world was still new to me. The backround singers and the melody is flawless.
    It's a beautiful song.
    Music is universal and in the 80's music gave you such a good feeling. Now it's cold. so happy youtube is here to keep this music alive so I can smoke this blunt to and chill out to some good tunes.

    Spandau Ballet is a British band 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 1980 and 1990. The band split acrimoniously in 1990 but announced their reunion in March 2009, complete with a tour that began in October 2009.

    I love 80s music to the bone!
    I'm a 19 year old girl and i'm half back and Puerto Rican girl and its very rare no and days to have music this pure that can touch someone very deeply instead of music now and days that forces people to have sex and diseases.
    I ABSOLUTE HATE how much music has gone so down hill that if you have looks then you can see or, simply it's because you know people.

    • @MrPhil4jazz
      @MrPhil4jazz 4 года назад +2

      80's was a brilliant time for me too, but I followed the American Soul scene, artists such as Phylis Hyman, Jean Carne, Angela Bofill, Teena Marie, Sister Sledge, Brandi Wells, Cheryl Lynn, Chaka Khan, Gwen McCrae, Kenny Burke, Gene Dunlap, Glen Jones, Freddie Jackson, Tom Brown, Roy Ayres, Bobby Womach, Lou Rawls, and many more, Groups like Frankie Beverley & Maze, Ingram, Kleeer, Brass Construction, Band AKA, Mtume, Mystic Merlin, MFSB, Side Effect, Lonnie Liston Smith and still dozens more, with UK artists like Mica Paris, Jody Watley, Jaki Graham, David Joseph, Omar, Paul Hardcastle, UK Bands like Light of the World, Hi Tension, Level 42, Soul II Soul, Beggar & Co, Incognito albeit not the original lineup but are still going strong today from back in 1979, Sorry Sara but maybe you didn't listen to these, being a Soul & JazzFunk Club Dj we never bought and played what was then called New Romantics music, yes it was very popular in the 80's with all the glamour, hype and video's, but when you listen to that music today that was produced in the 80's names such as Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Ah Ah, The Human League it just sounds so corny and you couldn't and wouldn't play it in a night club, whereas the Soul scene is timeless and still sounds good today.
