Information About

Fine Young Cannibals




Fine Young Cannibals was an English band best known for their 1989 hits "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing". Formed in Birmingham , England by Actor / Model Roland Gift on vocals with musicians and former The Beat members David Steele and Andy Cox . Their name came from the 1960 Film '' All The Fine Young Cannibals '' starring Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood .

The group was formed in 1984 and broke up in 1992 , though they briefly returned to the studio in 1996 to record a new single ''The Flame'' which would complement their Greatest Hits compilation to be released in the autumn of that year. Gift soon reactivated the brand and toured in the 2000s as Roland Gift and the Fine Young Cannibals. Their highest charting hit in the US was "Good Thing", from the album '' The Raw And The Cooked '', which itself reached number one in the US album charts.

Steele and Cox had previously recorded under the moniker "Two Men A Drum Machine and a Trumpet."
