Happy Birthday Roland Gift! What was your favorite song from Fine Young Cannibals?
Happy 50th birthday Roland!
One minute your considered a renaissance man and the next minute...? Fine Young Cannibals released two very well received records and then... Nothing I sometimes wondered what happened to this talented and gifted singer/actor
In 1990, he was named by People magazine as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People" in the world.
In 2002, Gift released a self-titled solo album, featuring the single "It's Only Money". In 2007, Gift was in a recording studio working on a follow-up album.
oh well, What was your favorite song from Fine Young Cannibals?

i think it was a case of 'moving to america syndrome' that was the death-knell for many bands, as he says in an interview just before the release of his solo album in 2002 http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/roland-gift-the-desire-to-make-music-has-never-left-me-653644.html

Haha, that guys voice always made me smile. Not really a fan of FYC, but they had some cool singles. I'd like to wish him a happy 5-0. I don't know much about him, but wasn't he in the English Beat too? I just thought that because of the similar voices.
I guess my favorite song by FYC would be Suspicious Minds.
I remember watching Roland in an early 90s episode of "Heartbeat".
