Allmusic bio:

"On the back of an enormous publicity campaign, Frankie Goes to Hollywood dominated British music in 1984.
Frankie's dance-pop borrowed heavily from the then-current Hi-NRG movement, adding a slick pop sensibility and
production. What really distinguished the group was not their music, but their marketing campaign. With a series of
slogans, T-shirts, and homoerotic videos, the band caused enormous controversy in England and managed to create some
sensations in the United States. However, the Frankie sensation was finished as soon as it was started; by the release
of their second album, Liverpool, in 1986, the group's audience had virtually disappeared.



Based in Liverpool, Frankie Goes to Hollywood formed in 1980, comprising ex-Big in Japan vocalist Holly Johnson,
vocalist Paul Rutherford, guitarist Nasher Nash, bassist Mark O'Toole, and drummer Peter Gill. Originally, the group was
called Hollycaust, but they changed their name to Frankie Goes to Hollywood — taken from an old headline about
Frank Sinatra's acting career — by the end of the year. The band didn't make anything of note until 1982, when
they appeared on the British television program The Tube with a rough version of the video for "Relax." The
appearance attracted attention from several record labels as well as record producer Trevor Horn. Horn contacted the
band and signed them to his label, ZTT. Late in 1983, Frankie's first single, the Horn-produced
"Relax"/"Ferry Cross the Mersey," was released. A driving dance number, "Relax" featured
sexually suggestive lyrics that would soon lead to great controversy.



Around the time of the release of "Relax," Frankie's promotional director, Paul Morley, a former music
journalist, orchestrated a massive, intricate marketing campaign that soon paid off in spades. Morley designed T-shirts
that read "Relax" and "Frankie Says...," which eventually appeared across the country. The group
began playing up their stylish, campy homosexual imagery, especially in the first video for "Relax." The video
was banned by British TV and a new version was shot. Similarly, Radio 1 banned the single and the rest of the BBC radio
and television networks quickly banned the record as well. Consequently, "Relax" shot to number one in January
of 1984 and soon sold over a million copies. Frankie's second single, the political "Two Tribes," was released
in June of 1984. The single, which was also produced by Trevor Horn, entered the charts at number one; it went gold in
seven days. "Two Tribes" stayed at number one for nine weeks and eventually sold over a million copies. While
it was on the top of the charts, "Relax" went back up the charts, peaking at number two.



Frankie mania had taken England by storm, yet it took a while to catch on in America. "Relax" peaked at number
67 in the spring of 1984, while "Two Tribes" just missed the Top 40 in the fall. Welcome to the Pleasuredome,
the band's Trevor Horn-produced debut double album, entered the U.K. charts at number one and their third single, the
ballad "The Power of Love," also reached number one. Welcome to the Pleasuredome reached number 33 in early
1985 in the U.S., prompting the re-release of "Relax"; this time around, it made it into the American Top
Ten.



"Rage Hard," the first single from their second album, peaked at number four in the U.K. during the summer of
1986. It was followed by the release of Liverpool, which reached number five on the British charts. Frankie Goes to
Hollywood began their final tour
