Frankie Goes To Hollywood, or FGTH for short, hailed from Liverpool, England. Many may recall "Relax" from the movie "Body Double."
Trevor Horn also produced "Owner of a Lonely Heart" for Yes as well as being one of Tina Charles' musicians in the 1970s Disco era.
Here's an interesting qoute from FGTH's bio; "The band played three newly composed songs that evening - Relax, Two Tribes and Love Has Got A Gun. They were raw, energetic as you could wish for. It was powerfull cock-rock with an infectious disco beat..."
Frankie Goes To Hollywood's next big single was "Two Tribes" on ZZT.

One of the really great songs of 1983-84. I consider it a DISCO CLASSIC! Truly a great record that had lots of Radio exposure. But it made its name first in GAY Clubs. then in the straight ones. At both, it packed the floors. A sure PRIME TIME PLAYER for almost a year. If you wanted more dancers, you played this. Get introduction gave a deejay a fantastic entry. The was the song played out, it left the door open for various LIVE remix versions. I played plenty with this song. Too bad that FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD wasn't around longer. On my scale from 1-10, it gets a 10.
