Frankie goes to hollywood, were an unknown liverpudlian band in the 80's, their single Relax was banned by all radio stations, thus resulting in number one single. relax dont do it had provacative lyrics "when you want to come..." The tube on channel 4 was about the only place to hear it, and see the video that was also banned. This resulted in a many t shirts appearing with frankie say relax dont do it, I think every man and his dog wore these thro that summer! This single was followed but two tribes, another contraversial song and video that I think was banned, due to it portraying two presidents biting each others ears off in a fighting ring!! These boys certainly knew how to get the fame and recognition they wanted. The title of the album was also released as a track welcome to the pleasure dome, more sedate than the other dancey tracks. The power of love was a timeless ballad, now rereleased and remixed into a dance track of summer 2000. Frankie may have split up, and were a bit of an over night success, and a short term success but they will never be forgotten... this album is one of the best of the era.
