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.

“Hip is the sophistication of the wise primitive in a giant jungle.”

“Digressions, incontestably, are the sunshine;Mthey are the life, the soul of reading!—take them out of this book, for instance,—you might as well take the book along with them;Mone cold external winter would reign in every page of it; restore them to the writer;Mhe steps forth like a bridegroom,—bids All-hail; brings in variety, and forbids the appetite to fail.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
