Anyone ever heard of the London Boys?

To be honest, I only remember "Requiem" - and that didn't even reach bubbling under-section of our charts (which is quite sad). It used to be (maybe it still is) a favourite tune of my younger brother, so I heard it quite a lot in those days.
It's a very catchy tune. :) * You're the love of my life, my life, my life - I won't let you go now...* 8)

Pure and simple late 80s dance hedonism...which served a purpose, I suppose...

'Requiem' hung around for ages until us Brits finally gave in and made it a hit...'London Nights' done even better (nearly reaching the top), but by then the game was up...

Their tragic deaths barely caused a ripple in the news over here and I don't think I've hardly heard either of those songs played since '89...

The Go-Go's have a song called "London Boys". It's really cool!  8)

I'm sure I've flipped past it in the buck bins numerous times!

I remember they made a comeback in 1991 with a hit-single "Sweet soul music". Catchy song indeed and it was a Pan Europen hit at least.
