Everything but the Girl (often shortened EBTG) was an English musical duo, formed in Hull in 1982, consisting of lead singer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, and singer Ben Watt. The duo's most successful single was a Todd Terry remix of "Missing" charting in several countries in 1995.〔 They are currently inactive, although vocalist Tracey Thorn hinted that they may perform again someday. They have not performed publicly since 2000, and as Thorn stated on BBC Radio4 on 25 January 2014, "for both Ben and me, it would feel like a step backwards". Watt and Thorn are also a couple; they are very private about their relationship and personal life. For some time, it was not a publicised fact that they were a couple, or that they had married subsequently. The duo have expressed a strong desire to raise their three children with as much privacy as possible. ==Early years== When Thorn and Watt met, they were both attending the University of Hull and both had contracted with the independent record company Cherry Red Records, as solo artists. Thorn was also a member of the trio Marine Girls, and Watt contributed a photograph to the cover of their second album, ''Lazy Ways''. The pair each had solo album releases through Cherry Red: Thorn's 1982 LP was ''A Distant Shore'', an eight-track mini-album. Watt's LP was entitled ''North Marine Drive''.〔 They formed a duo and adopted the name "Everything but the Girl" from the slogan used by the Hull shop Turner's Furniture〔(Beverley Road, Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom – Google Maps ). Maps.google.com (1 January 1970). Retrieved on 11 May 2012.〕 on Beverley Road.〔 The store originally built a window sign which read, "for your bedroom needs, we sell everything but the girl", the last part of which was later added to the shop's main signage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Everything but the Girl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
