Kajagoogoo - 80s synth pop Kajagoogoo are best known for their No.1 UK single "Too Shy". It was taken from their first album "White Feathers" which reached No.5 in the UK charts and No.38 in the U.S. But during 1983, Kajagoogoo had two more UK hits from the "White Feathers" album which were; "Ohh to be Ah" (No.7 - UK) and "Hang On Now" (No.13 - UK) The band had a squabble in mid '83 leading to the lead singer, Limahl being fired. The new Kajagoogoo with new lead singer Beggs released the single "Big Apple" which reached No.8 in the UK in late 1983. The follow-up single "The Lion's Mouth reached No.25 in 1984. Both were taken from their next album "Islands" which only managed to scrape into the Top 40 at No.35. Sadly, "The Lion's Mouth" was Kajagoogoo's last hit single.

Limahl had brief success as a solo artist in 1983 and 1984. He had two hit singles "Only For Love" (No.16 - UK) and "The Never Ending Story" (No.4 - UK), which was produced by Giorgio Moroder. Unfortunately, his album "Don't Suppose" only reached No. 63, and all of his other singles such as "Too Much Trouble" flopped. Kajagoogoo re-formed in May 2009 and are now touring again! |
