30 Years of Bananarama - Part 2

In 1986, Bananarama decided to change their musical direction and began working with producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman.  They heard Dead or Alive's 'You Spin Me Round' and they were impressed by the production and energy of their sound.   'Venus' was born and it became a huge global hit, reaching number one in multiple countries such as the USA!  The video was a big draw to the MTV generation.  Under the guidance of Bruno Tonioli they created a massively camp dance routine which has now been emulated by every woman and gay man across the globe.  I'd imagine that it was their  close friend George Michael that probably suggested that they should also hire some nice boy dancers to help out.  What a nice chap George is?  So helpful!

The 'WOW' album was a stomping pop-fest that included amazing songs like 'I Heard A Rumour'. 

Bananarama had built a reputation for being a great world-class pop act that also made amazing videos.  These video's can be seen on the new CD / DVD collection. ' 30 Years of Bananarama' includes 35 videos and can be pre-ordered here: http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/32252767/0/30-Years-Of-Bananarama/ListingDetails.html
