Number 177: Limahl - Inside To Outside

In the middle of the hot summer of 1983, ongoing tensions within the band Kajagoogoo finally came to a boil. When the dust cleared their lead singer, Limahl, had been cut loose, free to pursue a solo career. By 1986, with a few successful singles under his belt, Limahl released Color All My Days, his second solo album. "Inside To Outside", the breakout single from the LP, raced up the charts all across Europe. I have it at #177, and we'll see Mr. Limahl again before we finish this list.

  1. Limahl ... the answer to a question no one asked. Well at least he never fronted a swing orchestra. Wait... what's that you say?

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

    1. I did not know that. Limahl and swing music don't really seem like a good fit.
