Ahhhh the romantical sounds of Spandau Ballet. I don’t know what makes me cry more: their songs or the thought of letting this shirt go. This UK band took the spotlight in 1983 with their album and single True and followed up with another hit album in 1984. But by the end of the decade their popularity had dwindled, two band members were distracted by serious acting careers and the band parted ways. Yet it wasn’t long before Spandau’s brilliance was rediscovered by P.M. Dawn who sampled True in their 1991 track Set a Drift on Memory Bliss.
