BRONSKI BEAT / JIMMY SOMERVILLE Bronski Beat had a string of chart hits during the 80s. The biggest and most well-known hit was the haunting synth melody "Smalltown Boy". The openly gay lead singer Jimmy Somerville left the band in 1986 (he was replaced by John Foster) and went on to form The Communards with Richard Coles, who also had several hits. Their first single was a cover version of "Don't Leave Me This Way" and shot to No.1. You can listen to Jimmy Somerville's latest music at his official website.

It was also a top ten hit in Australia. Bronski Beat and Marc Almond - I Feel Love (1985) The band linked up with the gay frontman from Soft Cell, Marc Almond, to record a version of Donna Summer's classic hit "I Feel Love" in 1985. The full version was a medley, which incorporated snippets of another Donna Summer hit "Love to Love You Baby" and John Leyton's "Johnny Remember Me". The song reached No.3 in the UK charts in April 1985. |
