I was 39....I loved them instantly, bought their tape...I'm now 70... I still dig their sound, his soft voice, easy movement,yeah...diggin it at five in my a.m.
Yes, i just discovered them a few months ago, i'm 72, good to know others my age still love this type of classy yet exciting melodies, harmonies, horns, the works, good stuff, we need this type of music these days, n'est ce pas, T. Leckner, Montreal, Canada
he has a very nice colour of voice right for this type of music. other band member playing well as well. I think Toby Andersen is on keyboards who was not a band member but co-wrote songs on first album. too bad they did not achieve longer success at least their first album debuted at no.1 in UK and stayed in top ten for 13 weeks. that says everything
Yes brother Ben!! I was surfing the vaults of Curiosity songs on YT in the wee hours the other night. Wonderful memories. I was especially moved by your lyrics - you're a real songwriter brother. Beautiful words and melodies. Tracks like Misfit, In the first place, Mile high and others. Soulful human subtle... I swear you have a few albums more in you...especially after all those suffering years. Praying you get on the keys and put some of it down in words. Love to you golden friend.
They are amazing musicians!! Fantadtic nsnd! I bought this tape & i swear its still brilliant!! Love their music so much! Takes me back to innocent, happy summer days with my best friend!! 💞💞🤗🤗🌟🌟🌟
Curiosity were top class with their debut album but it slipped away sadly. The backing vocals are so good pity they weren't given a name credit as they deserved it.
Fun fact: They were rivals with a band called “Midnight” that was fronted by Gavin Rossdale of Bush fame. Bush was the biggest rock band in the world for a year or two-and they sounded absolutely nothing like Rossdale’s former band. There are a few videos of Rossdale performing a Midnight song, and it’s unbelievably cheesy in that late 80s kind of way. Bush was pretty much a “grunge” band, at least on their first couple of albums. Midnight was...not grunge at all. 😆🤣😂
For the uninitiated, there is a complete Curiosity Killed The Cat concert available for download on iTunes. It's a show of theirs at London's Camden Palace from 1986 and it's quite good ...
I guess they thought they might not be taken seriously because they were pretty boys. This video shows how good they were at playing their instruments...
They were talentless little ass-hats who basically had their best selling album co-written and arranged by a session keyboard player, who was an official member, called Toby Anderson. Because he didn't live up to their "pretty boy" image he was for the most part, hidden away, never appearing in official photos etc. If it wasn't for him they would've went tits up...... Which is exactly what happened after he was sacked for, in his own words "not being good looking enough". Twats.
There's an interesting interview from The Tube with Paula Yates (it is on YT) where they said it took a few them years to find labels that would let them create authentically without being manipulatedn and even then they had to compromise. Given they were just about to release Misfit their second track, it was a great question from Paula and an honest answer from the lads. But I can't help wonder if that sealed their fate. They were Leona Lewis'ed.
That bass playing is out of this world. 👍👍👍
It is! If you haven't already,check out Stuart Zender formerly of Jamiroquai. He's incredible. Nick Fyfe too!
Excellent base!
good but Mark King was a lot better
I was 39....I loved them instantly, bought their tape...I'm now 70... I still dig their sound, his soft voice, easy movement,yeah...diggin it at five in my a.m.
❤❤❤❤
I was 17 still digit

That bass groove, awesome. :)
Quite impressed with that live performance. Nice to hear a voice as good as the studio version for once!
Yes, I agree live performance was spot on.
The bass player and rhythm guitarist are absolutely burning. Monster playing.
one of my favorite 80s band, super jazzy soulful and sexy. Love Ben's voice.
That was funky!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great song, great voice and band ♥️.
One of my 3 all time fave BANDS Super talented
Who are the other two?
Yes, i just discovered them a few months ago, i'm 72, good to know others my age still love this type of classy yet exciting melodies, harmonies, horns, the works, good stuff, we need this type of music these days, n'est ce pas, T. Leckner, Montreal, Canada
This live performance shows how good they were, Ben VP smashed it!
he has a very nice colour of voice
right for this type of music.
other band member playing well as well.
I think Toby Andersen is on keyboards who was not a band member but co-wrote songs on first album.
too bad they did not achieve longer success
at least their first album debuted at no.1 in UK and stayed in top ten for 13 weeks.
that says everything
Great voice! Fresh music even now in 2016! Come back 80's please!
I feel like a misfit
A brilliant band.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
there is an unusually high level of musicianship in this video
Those who were teenagers in the 1980s just appreciate that this was pretty normal music. It's today that's shite.
@@michawill6599agreed. Musicianship was commonplace.
I was only 2 in 1987 but love and appreciate 80s and older Music. I could listen to this over and over. LOVE IT
Love Ben hes great.👍🏾❤
Just an excellent song, I love that bass line too...
❤❤❤ this song...STILL!!!
Just discovered the band today how amazing. Love the fact the live version sounds so good. Most artists these days sounds so different in person.
Magnificent, timeless, bad ass band and with Ben at the helm, historic and forever brilliant!
Great...@lfio
Fantastic musicians 😊

I was surfing the vaults of Curiosity songs on YT in the wee hours the other night.
Wonderful memories.
I was especially moved by your lyrics - you're a real songwriter brother. Beautiful words and melodies.
Tracks like Misfit, In the first place, Mile high and others.
Soulful human subtle...
I swear you have a few albums more in you...especially after all those suffering years.
Praying you get on the keys and put some of it down in words.
Love to you golden friend.

These guys were actually good musicians...cool.
They were
I loved this song in 1987
Maybe this wonderful group that I REALLY listend to in THE 80s were berfore their Time? Anyone?
Curiosity were top class with their debut album but it slipped away sadly. The backing vocals are so good pity they weren't given a name credit as they deserved it.
Good music , good times Matthieu. So much that I bought this lp for the 2nd time as my sad sister stole the one before. Great songs for the summer !
Caro Marco sarai sempre il mio principe azzurro delle fiabe
Great band all round.
They would be great live in 2017
Saw them live 2 weeks ago at an 80's weekends and yes yes still are great live, still a very talented band.
This is my song! I'm that misfit, totally related
Este es un súper hit de todos los tiempos
Fun fact: They were rivals with a band called “Midnight” that was fronted by Gavin Rossdale of Bush fame.

Had forgotten what a fucking excellent band they were.
haha that status bass👍
They were brilliant back in the day 👌🏻
Ben Volpierre was so cool back then, great times
It would be great seeing Ben make a come back, anything is possible mate❤🙏☯️
Great to see them again! I was in the audience at this concert in 1987!
I'm sure joung Jason Kay (Jamiroquai) was a fan of the singer.
Along with Staka Bo 😎
Literally him...I love them both so not criticising ❤💯
Exactly what I was thinking watching this performance!
Absolutely. Also the (at the time) very young Jungle guys must have been watching this...
Esses caras eram muito bons musicos
Fantastic
Still love you after all these years x
Nice Video
Excellent!!
For the uninitiated, there is a complete Curiosity Killed The Cat concert available for download on iTunes. It's a show of theirs at London's Camden Palace from 1986 and it's quite good ...
Raw talent right there 👏👌
I want that Tin Tin & Snowy t-shirt that guitarist Julian is wearing!
Great guitar playing !

Puedo decir sin lugar a dudas que está version es muy buena🎉❤😅😊

BEN VP
My band wanted to be just like them in 1987. Memories.
Ogni volta signora Pina vicina di casa di Floriana che vedo una Citroen C3 il primo modello del 2003 azzurra mi ritorna in mente
amo demais ouvir esse hit lava minha alma
The album "Getahead" was a real masterpiece !!!
I guess they thought they might not be taken seriously because they were pretty boys. This video shows how good they were at playing their instruments...
Gary MacMillan looks can be deceiving eh?😉
I agree¡¡
You are so right. I saw them live - they were brilliant
They were talentless little ass-hats who basically had their best selling album co-written and arranged by a session keyboard player, who was an official member, called Toby Anderson. Because he didn't live up to their "pretty boy" image he was for the most part, hidden away, never appearing in official photos etc. If it wasn't for him they would've went tits up......

You're the keyboard player, @@gazbert88
Brilliant!
these brothers were AWESOME👍👍👍👍.
Just so good
Machine Gun of the 1980s!
Impressive... Live
A GENIUS
CANNOT GO ANY HIGHER
THIS IS THE END OF THE LINE
BRILLIANCE
HE IS A ONE AND ONLY
Jonny SL wow cheers dude!
Surprised they seemed to vanish into thin air! Seeing as that album did so well, but a TOP/nostalgic track anyway...
There's an interesting interview from The Tube with Paula Yates (it is on YT) where they said it took a few them years to find labels that would let them create authentically without being manipulatedn and even then they had to compromise.

BRILLIANT
