FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS
I thought Roland Gift was the gift! Their music was a bit different, a bit hip and groovy and Roland oozed sex!!! They were the Fine Young Cannibals. Hailing from Birmingham, their music hit the airwaves throughout the mid to late 80's with hits such as Johnny Come Home, Blue, Suspicious Minds, Ever Fallen in Love, Good Thing, She Drives me Crazy etc.
The inspiration for their name came from a 1960 film called 'All the Fine Young Cannibals' starring Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner in their first film together as husband and wife.
Roland also dabbled in a little acting featuring in the 1988 film called SAMMY AND ROSIE GET LAID, directed by Stephen Frears, who now directs successful films like THE QUEEN and one of my all time faves, High Fidelity! He did release a solo album but with little success. These days best at hibernating it appears!!
