Limahl appeared on the show to promote the return of Kajagoogoo, and Best Of CD & DVD. More info about it here: www.amazon.co.u... Note that the music clip couldn't be included for copyright reasons.
This is my favorite interview with one of my favorite singers of my all time favorite song. "Never Ending Story" The movie was so amazing. I love to let children watch it and get away from their real life for a little while. The song is something that keeps us all remembering what we saw in fantasia. TY from all of us Limahl. Your voice made that song too.
He has appeal an' is one fine bloke if you ask me. It's nice to know he's loved. Canada here fell in love with him in 1984, as we did alot of great commercial Brit pop and New Wave.
Melanie Coe It seemed like Kaja got more than they bargained for with Limahl and were kind of spooked by their success. In retrospect, I believe Limahl just wasn’t meant to last with them. He fared better on his own music-wise and Kaja made fairly interesting music without him. I loved all their music with them together and split up.
Hilarious! Limahl is such a charming, funny guy. And I still love the song. Hubby and I heard it on the radio by surprise and stopped everything to listen, and then to sing along.
@christschool You are wrong on so many levels. Nick Beggs is one of the great prog rock bass players and highly respected. Kajagoogoo formed in 79 and wasn't signed by EMI until 82. Neverending Story was NOT a Kajagoogoo song, it was a solo release from Limahl after he left the band (which he did not write). Too Shy WAS written by Kajagoogoo as anyone with the single/ greatest hits or even the internet can tell you. So sit down and be quiet or at least consult google before you post trash.
@christschool you can post links, they just aren't clickable. So far you have come no closer to verify your claim that Kajagoogoo didn't write Too Shy. I am not disputing Rhodes produced the track or that the lable marketed them. That's a given, every band is promoted. Faulty google searches? Please inform me how Google is malfunctioning to omit only the results crediting the true author of Too Shy. That's some mighty big conspiracy going on there!
@theakstonsrock Also, KJ wasn't classified as a progressive band, that nomenclature didn't come into common use until the 90's. They were marketed as a New Romantic band. Also, most corporate bands begin before being signed and marketed. As the quote from Limahl below indicates, which I posted, he admits that the band was a corporate creation and heavily marketed. The band sabotaged their support from EMI in just under a year when they made a decision to move on without Limahl.
@theakstonsrock Your entitled to your opinions, but not the facts. Too Shy was a stock song given to Kajagoogoo. It may say they wrote it but they didn't. How do I know? I worked for EMI. They were signed specifically for the reason to duplicate Duran Duran's commercial success following the UK release of Rio. Perhaps you should sit down and learn a few things outside of Google searches.
@theakstonsrock by the way, do you know what it means to produce an album or song? When someone is a producer of a song/album, are you aware of what it is that the producer does?
@christschool "I'm sure this promotional coup must have helped fuel the marketing and promotion budgets of EMI because let's face it, in the big bad world, to get a product out to the masses, the clout of such a big corporate machine is fairly critical......and so now the stage was set for 'Kajagoogoo' to be lauched on to the world music stage." - Limahl
dobre!!! gosc ma poczucie humoru obsmialam sie do lez.no ale to nie pierwszy wywiad chrisa czy kajagoogoo przy ktorym sie mozna posmiac.polecam opis pobylu tego pana w polsce na jego oficjalnej stronie kto w temacie ten znajdzie
@theakstonsrock Nick Rhode's was responsible for this band. Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes was brought in to the studio to produce the single along with Duran Duran's producer at the time Colin Thurston. Much like some of Prince's understudies, Nick Rhodes shaped this band, gave them their "sound" and produced their only real hit. It was a corporate band. Nick Rhodes got them their contract with EMI. It wasn't the "power" of their music, it was Nick Rhode's influence.
hola me gustaria que subtitularan en espaniol los videos... mi ingles es bueno pero se me escapan algunas cosas y es algo molesto... espero que tomen en cuanta mi pedido SALUDOS DE ARGENTINA
@christschool I see, so there are two sets of history here: The widely documented and reported one, of a band formed several years before being signed, who are credited on the release itself and then the "real" history, as reported only by a single anonymous troll on the internet who, conveniently, works for EMI and tells us a truth which we have no way to verify. Simply put, I do not believe what you are saying. If you post links to proof, I will. Will I just take your word for it? Ofcourse not
@theakstonsrock no, you can't post links unless something is changed recently. The only one claiming a conspiracy here is you. Try posting a link here.
@theakstonsrock No, there is your faulty google searches and the truth. There is no alternative truth. If you know how to search, you'll find support for what I wrote and I don't continue to work for EMI. As I wrote, I "worked" for EMI, which is past tense. Perhaps this is your problem. You don't know how to read. I'd post you links, but RU-vid doesn't allow links in comments. I also worked with bands like Talk Talk, The Go-Go's, The Waitresses and many others.
