The band first charted in January 1985 with their #2 smash, "Love &
Pride". This was followed up by "Won't You Hold My Hand Now" #24,
"Alone Without You" #8, "The Taste Of Your Tears" #11 and finally
"Torture" that peaked number 23 in the UK singles chart. King had a
unique blend of rock/funk/ pop all dressed up in their own uniform of
Doc Martins, bright suits and big hair do's. Singer Paul King opted
to go solo before becoming a VJ (video jockey) on MTV and then VH1.
Cherry Red have also reissued the band's two studio albums "Steps In
Time" #6 (CRPOP50) and the follow up "Bitter Sweet" (CDMRED328).
The CD booklet features lyrics of the singles plus a UK Discography
featuring many of the band’s sleeves

Ripper's Notes:
More King than any but the most OCD fan could need. Stick with the
Best Of for a better, more concise overview.
