F.G.T.H. was an unpredictable and controversial band, consisting of Holly Johnson (vocals), Paul Rutherford (vocals), Paul 'Nasher' Nash (guitar), Mark O'Toole (bass) and Peter Gill (drums).

This Liverpool group formed in 1980, but didn't really come into the spotlight until they signed a record deal with Trevor Horn's ZTT record company a couple of years later. Their first record "Relax" was instantly banned from television and radio stations in the U.K. because of its suggestive lyrics. Fortunately enough for them, the ban had a reverse effect and the song shot to the top of the charts. The group's debut single was then followed by "Two Tribes" and "The Power Of Love" - the latter having been a Christmas number 1 in the U.K.

Godley & Creme, the former members of 10CC, produced the videos for these 2 songs and with the second they encountered, yet again, problems with the BBC. The tv station didn't want to show the video, which accompanied "The Power Of Love", reason being that its contents was solely about the Biblical story of Jesus' birth and didn't include any pictures of the group itself.
Ironically, this was the first time a group had troubles screening a video, not for its raunchiness or sexiness, but right the opposite, as it was kept deeply religious. Incidentally, the video was recut in some places, the members of the band appearing in each corner of the screen as just little add-ins, to make all parties happy.
As Lol Creme said though, to them the original "holy" atmosphere of the scenario was spoilt in the final screened video.
"The Power Of Love" eventually equalled Gerry And The Pacemakers' record of being the only other band with their first 3 singles hitting the top spot in the charts.

Success didn't leave them with the album "Welcome To The Pleasure Dome". However, the single of the same name failed to reach the top of the charts and stayed at number 2 (yet once more the same situation as Gerry And The Pacemakers' have experienced years before).

After 1984 the group never reached the same standards again and, after having taken a break in Ireland, they attempted a comeback in 1986. Unfortunately they never managed to conquer America at that time and critics branded them a 'plastic, puppet group' and 'manufactured talents'. What F.G.T.H. never got credited for was that at least they wrote, sang and played their own music.

Their second album "Liverpool" was, by their standards, a disaster and within a year the band broke up.
In 1991 Holly Johnson was diagnosed HIV positive, and doctors and critics only gave him months to live. However, he proved them wrong. Although having found life understandably tough at times, specially as he took his record company to court to be released from his contract, Holly is now considering a musical comeback, according to an interview with the SUN newspaper, and gives the impression of being extremely confident about his future plans.

Dare say, we're all waiting on tender hooks to see the outcome of his recent revelation.
