Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A British New Wave group founded in Birmingham in 1978, Dexys Midnight Runners [sic] are probably one of the best known One Hit Wonders of all time, although to label them as such would be a misnomer. The band that brought us the ridiculously catchy single "Come On Eileen" was created by Kevin Rowland and Kevin "Al" Archer, two guitarists who had previously been members of a a Birmingham punk group called the Killjoys. Fans of soul music, this duo created Dexys Midnight Runners as a horn-driven Northern Soul outfit which achieved success with its early singles "Geno" and "There, There, My Dear" and their seminal album Searching for the Young Soul Rebels. |
