Giant Steps (band)
Giant Steps was a dance pop duo from England that consisted of vocalist/producer Colin Campsie and bassist/keyboardist/producer George McFarlane. They had previously recorded as The Quick.
Giant Steps' only album, Book of Pride, was released in 1988, and its first single "Another Lover" became a hit in the United States, peaking at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. It became very popular in Italy in 1988 as well, garnering considerable airplay at pop radio. It was subsequently featured over the opening credits of the 1989 film Loverboy, starring Patrick Dempsey.
Giant Steps' follow-up single "Into You" was a modest US chart success, reaching the Top 50 in early 1989.
In 2006, Campsie became infamous for writing the Kandy Floss record, and was mistakenly credited as being a member of Go West by Mr. Holy Moly in Metro's 25 February edition.

Famous quotes containing the words giant and/or steps:
“Long ago the country bore the country-town and nourished it with her best blood. Now the giant city sucks the country dry, insatiably and incessantly demanding and devouring fresh streams of men, till it wearies and dies in the midst of an almost uninhabited waste of country.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
“All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old,
The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart,
The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,
Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
