Cultural Facts:
-
Secret Romance Inside the Band: Boy George and drummer Jon Moss were romantically involved during Culture Club's rise, but the relationship was largely hidden from the public. Their breakups and reconciliations fed directly into George's songwriting during the Colour By Numbers era.
-
Helen Terry Nearly Steals the Song: Singer Helen Terry was never an official member, but her gospel-influenced backing vocals became essential to the band's sound. On “Church of the Poison Mind,” her performance is so prominent that she nearly functions as a co-lead singer.
-
From Punk Clubs to Global Pop: Before Culture Club, George had briefly performed with Bow Wow Wow under the name Lieutenant Lush. Within only a few years he went from London's post-punk club world to becoming one of the most recognizable pop stars on television.
