I always wondered what happened to FYC, I mean they owned 1988 with their album the Raw and the Cooked, with Good Thing, Not the Man I used to be and She Drives Me crazy. All I remember was that the singer Roland Gift played a part in the movie Scandal, and that I remember wating forever to the folow up album which I guess never materialized. I think I remember they had a remix album out later, which said to me was a sign of the death knell of the band. So anyone know what happened? Did they just make their money and there was no point in going on or what? I never had the whole story.

I figured it was one of those "friction within the band" deals......

I don't know exaclty what happened but over here in the UK I do remember there was stuff in the press about Rowland Gift wanting to try acting, as you say he was in Scandal, and like you said, i think he had made enough money from the FYC to now be able to try acting....
Not made a great success of it though by the look if it.
Don't forget that FYC contained two members of The Beat(aka The English Beat)

That is a very good question! I literally wouldn't have a clue. As far as I remember I think that they only had one album that was popular over in America. It is a shame to because they had a very unique sound that made them stand out.

You mean Baby's got back or Baby don't look back?

Don't Look Back by Fine Young Cannibals from The Raw and the Cooked album. That's my favorite!

What an album, I had no idea they would be a where are they now. And CYDI, the Beat played here recently, and the FYC/Beat guys weren't even there, I think it was just Dave Wakeling.
