7. Frankie Goes To Hollywood â âRelaxâ. ***
Banned by radio and the video was banned by the BBC as it was rocketing up the charts...
Trevor Hornâs monster production and Holly Johnsonâs filthy swagger were destined for nothing less than huge success and with a thumping bass beat...great stuff!
there are two videos for this track, the initially banned version set in a gay club with its less than subtle homosexual overtones, and a tv friendly band version...
personally, i think the second version adds nothing to the song, much prefering the banned version(see below)
Year: 1983
Sold: 2.00m
Chart High: #1
