Fine Young Cannibals blew up
Fine Young Cannibals blew up 1989. They seemed to come out of nowhere and were gone just as quickly. For one year they ruled the charts. #1 on the album charts with the Raw and the Cooked and then two #1 hits including She Drives Me Crazy and Good Thing. When the English Beat broke up, Andy Cox and Dave Steele decided to form a band using MTV to find a singer. After auditioning 500 singers they finally found a singer the old fashioned way. Through people they knew. Roland Gift had distinct falsetto and Fine Young Cannibals were born. They worked with Prince producer Bobby Z and created a beautiful pop album that set the charts and the 80s on fire. So why did they walk away from music? Whey didn’t they record a follow up album? Relegated to the one album wonder status or as we call it Bottled Lightning. Find out why next on professor of rock.

Kicked to the curb by their surging UK band, this pair of surprised musicians regrouped hoping to form something even better. All they needed was a lead singer. And after a grueling 8-month audition process, sifting through 500 contenders, they finally found one. Two albums later, they had their former bandmates second-guessing their decision. With a #1 record to their name and two #1 hits in their pocket, it was the ultimate payback. So, why didn’t they get back in the studio and do it again? Climbing to the top only to fade into obscurity? In 1989 they were arguably the biggest band on the planet. Then Poof they were gone...It’s a bottled lightning mystery… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.
Hey music junkies, Professor of Rock, always here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time. If you signed up for Columbia House’s 11 cassettes for a penny scheme multiple times under different pseudonyms you will love this channel. Make sure to subscribe below right now. by hitting the red button and make sure to click the bell. We also have a patreon you'll want to check out when you support us there it allows us to do even more interviews.
so It’s time for another edition of our series Bottled Lightning where we celebrate a song or album that was king for a day. Here we honor artists and bands and that rocketed up the charts… but for reasons unknown couldn’t sustain that blast of success. Called by some ‘one hit wonders’, we celebrate them instead as lightning in a bottle.
Today we are heading to 1989 to check out an album that turned in two #1 hits... The Raw and the Cooked by Fine Young Cannibals.
When ‘The Beat,’ also known as ‘The English Beat’ in the US, split up in 1983, the news came as a surprise to guitarist Andy Cox and bassist David Steele. Apparently, Cox and Steele didn’t see eye to eye with vocalists Ranking Roger and Dave Wakeling. Still, they were caught off guard when the band’s accountant called to finalize the break up. Roger and Wakeling had left the seven-piece group behind. Their next move was to form General Public shortly after and release the Top 30 single Tenderness in 1984.
Meanwhile, realizing they were on the outs, Cox and Steele resolved to regroup, only this time with a smaller lineup... Hoping for less in-fighting and artistic compromise. Apart from not wanting to repeat the mistakes of their former band, both musicians really didn’t have a clear picture of what to do. So, they figured searching for a strong vocalist would be a good place to start.
