Spandau Ballet was a popular British band in the 1980s. Initially inspired by a mixture of funk and synthpop, the New Romantic group, eventually mellowed into a mainstream AOR pop act. As with their rivals Duran Duran they 'broke America', albeit briefly.

Guitarist and songwriter Gary Kemp and his brother, bassist Martin Kemp formed the band in 1979, with drummer John Keeble, lead vocalist Tony Hadley and Steve Norman, who initially played guitar but later switched to saxophone when the band changed musical direction.
