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:
“Next week Reagan will probably announce that American scientists have discovered that the entire U.S. agricultural surplus can be compacted into a giant tomato one thousand miles across, which will be suspended above the Kremlin from a cluster of U.S. satellites flying in geosynchronous orbit. At the first sign of trouble the satellites will drop the tomato on the Kremlin, drowning the fractious Muscovites in ketchup.”
—Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
“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)
