My only claim to fame - he left his diary in my office in about '95! I didn't even read it, and he was extremely cool and grateful to get it back. Top man..
30 years on still bloody brilliant...FYC were so distinct and have always loved them fun MOD music....great to see RG his voice sounds great...and Jools can still tickle the ivories....
Saw him perform a set in North London a couple years ago. He was brilliant. Good to see my mate Bryan on backing vocals, doing an awesome job as usual, and Jools plays incredibly.
Roland has still got the magnificent voice he did in the 1980s as the lead singer of the legendary Fine Young Cannibals. Jools Holland also played piano on the original recording of Good Thing. Roland has gotten better with age and experience.
A US Billboard Hot 100 No. 1. Great song. The Fine Young Cannibals should of had more success after 1989. Roland still has a great voice, and Jools can still kill it on the piano solo for this track.
What a voice. So many singers don't sound anything like as good live as they do on record but Roland Gift sure does.
Fine young cannibals are one of the most original and influential bands of the eightees and Roland Gift is an excellent artist
Can still recognize his voice out of ten thousand others.
Sounds exactly the same as he did in 1985. Brilliant. Good to see this.
I agree big time! His voice hasn't cracked or anything.
amazing
And that's a Good Thing! :)
It came out in 1989, but yeah his voice still holds up
So pleasantly surprised to hear that voice is still as perfect as back in the day. Always loved the fine young cannibals

RiccardoCorrigano wow, he seems to be very cool!
I am not the man you are Riccardo, I would have read it lol
AWESOME! Roland makes his first live appearance since the 90's and proceeds to kick absolute ass! Welcome back Roland! You've still got what it takes!
This guy has a truly amazing voice--glad to hear him back on the scene after so many years.
