Fine Young Cannibals - FYC

Fine Young Cannibals was an English band best known for its 1989 hits "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing". Formed in Birmingham, England, by vocalist Roland Gift and former The Beat members David Steele and Andy Cox. Their name came from the 1960 film All The Fine Young Cannibals starring Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood. The group was formed in 1984 in Birmingham, UK, out of the ashes of The Beat, with whom Cox and Steele previously played. Fine Young Cannibals broke up in 1992, before briefly returning to the studio in 1996 to record a new single The Flame which would complement their Greatest Hits compilation released that year. Gift soon reactivated the band and toured in the 2000s as Roland Gift and the Fine Young Cannibals. Fine Young Cannibals appeared as the house band in the 1987 comedy Tin Men. Steele and Cox had previously recorded under the moniker "Two Men, a Drum Machine and a Trumpet."

Their highest charting hits in the US were "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing", from the album The Raw and the Cooked. Both reached number one in the US single charts.
