Kane Gang were a sophisti-pop/pop rock trio from North East England that scored several UK and US hits in the 1980s. Named after the movie ''Citizen Kane'', the trio recorded for the indie record label, Kitchenware, that was also home to Prefab Sprout. ==Career== Vocalists Martin Brammer (born 13 May 1957, Seaham, County Durham) and Paul Woods, plus multi-instrumentalist Dave Brewis formed the trio in 1982, after meeting while in small local bands, and signed to a small record label, which led to a deal with London Records in 1984. Their debut album, ''Bad and Lowdown World of the Kane Gang'' (released in the U.S. as ''Lowdown''), was released the following year. It spawned two UK hit singles. These were "Closest Thing to Heaven" (#12) and a cover of The Staples Singers' "Respect Yourself" (#21). The latter was also a hit in Australia, reaching No. 19. The album was produced by Pete Wingfield, and featured P. P. Arnold and Sam Brown as backing vocalists.〔() 〕 The band's next album, ''Miracle'', was released in 1987 and spawned two U.S. hit singles: "Motortown" (#36 US / #45 UK) and another cover – this time of Dennis Edwards' "Don't Look Any Further"〔 (#64 US / No. 52 UK). The latter hit No. 1 on the US Dance Charts. Woods left the band in 1991 to attempt a solo career. Woods and Brewis also worked on an album which was never released. 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「Kane Gang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
