    Tony Hadley has never needed to lip sync, he really can sing, and Spandau were NOT a boy band at all, we didn't really have boy bands as such in the UK in the 80's, they were an American thing, we didn't want nor need them. As for the suits Spandau were New Romantics anyone around then (like me) will tell you New Romantics were always well dressed and cool no matter what they wore.

      Bay City Rollers . UK 70's boy band , fiddled out of all their money by their p*do, now deceased manager. There's a doc on the manager & his "taking in troubled boys for the Police". Vulnerable boys he used for his own ends. His fortune was built on fraud, drugs & dodgy business dealings.

    Wireless mics came out in the 1950s. Spandau Ballet were a group in the New Romantic genre of music, their fashion style was always suited and booted, classy. The two singers in white suits are the brothers Kemp, Gary and Martin. Both actors later and played the iconic gangsters The Krays in an early film. Hadley the lead singer went on to go into theological studies and wanted to become a pastor of a church. Very influential group. Pronounced Spand ow (as in ouch) Ballet.

    The band got its name from the German prison in Spandau, where many people were executed during World War II. The name Spandau Ballet refers to how the person's body twitches and jumps when it is being hung and dangling from the ropes.
    PM Dawn's sampling of this song is incredible and the band loved it. Tom Hadley, lead singer of Spandau Ballet, said it was a great use of the song and felt they did the song justice.
    Duran Duran and this band were so competitive back in the day, especially back in England where Spandau had a much larger following. In the states Duran Duran ran away with it but the two bands had a great relationship and got on very well, both performed on the song "Do They Know Its Christmas" for famine relief in Africa and played at Live Aid. Check out this bands song - "GOLD". And it is never a bad thing to react to more DURAN DURAN.

    Spandau (Span-dow) Ballet was named for Spandau Prison in Berlin, Germany. This was the home, after the Nuremburg Trials after World war II, of Rudolph Hess, Adolph Hitler's Number 2, who flew to Scotland in 1941 in a vain attempt to negotiate a Peace deal with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The Ballet part of the name comes from certain moments at the Prison, at the end of a rope. The band itself was okay, this song was their biggest hit, at least here in the USA.

    Written by Gary Kemp. Classic 🙌 1980s pop ballad. In the video he is on piano 🎹. But, in concert and in the studio 🎙 he was on guitar 🎸. Jess Bailey was on piano 🎹 in the studio and on tour in early days of Spandau Ballet.
    Martin Kemp, younger brother of Gary, on bass guitar 🎸. He was married to Shirlie Hollliman, who was a backing singer for Wham! You can see them in the music video 📹 Last Christmas 🎄. Steve Norman on saxophone 🎷 John Keeble on drums 🥁. Tony Hadley on lead vocals. He quit. The band broke up afterwards.
    7:15. Marvin refers to Marvin Gaye, who was alive in 1983. RIP.
    Samples. 1 In 1991, PM Dawn used a sample for a song 🎵. 2 Backstreet Boys had a sample: ain't nothing but a heartache 💔 matched the descending piano scale, 8:06 and last 10:53, of True.

    My favourite band from my teenage years. Had their posters all over my bedroom walls then. They were not a boy band. They were really great singers and talented musicians. Try listening to 'Through The Barricades'. This was the music video for the song, so it could have out of sync with the audio. But it doesn't mean they don't sing live...

    You guys should check out Lloyd’s song “YOU”. This song is sampled in the chorus. “She’s fine too, but I want YOU”…

      I can see that. It's a great one in it's own way. Faster, more upbeat and a little more edge to it.
