The Korgis Anyone?

Postby newwavepopman » Sat May 15, 2004 6:27 am

Does anyone remember this duo which consisted of Andy Davis and James Warren who had one hit here in the states called "Everybody's Got To Learn To Love? Funny how I liked almost everything else by them but this song really bombed.They picked the wrong song to release as a single I think,at least in my own opinion.I think the more upbeat "It's No Good Unless You Love Me" would have been a much better pick to release as the single.What are both James and Andy been doing since they broke up does anyone know?

The Korgis one hit was actually called 'Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime', and was also a big hit here in Australia. Nice song.

Beck does a great job with "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" on the Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind soundtrack. Great song; even better movie! [:X]
