Peter Cox (musician)
Peter John Cox (born 17 November 1955) is an English singer-songwriter, best known as one half of the 1980s pop/blue-eyed soul duo Go West.
==Early career and Go West==
Peter Cox sang in his school choir and later as a chorister at The Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace. In his early twenties he worked in a 'covers' band for The Mecca Organisation. While in residency in a Sheffield nightclub he began writing with longtime collaborator Richard Drummie, with whom he eventually signed a publishing deal. For the next few years, Cox and Drummie tried to land a recording contract until, with the help of manager John Glover and producer Gary Stevenson, the duo finally recorded the songs which would become their first two singles.
After signing a deal with Chrysalis Records their first single, "We Close Our Eyes", was a Top 5 hit in the UK Singles Chart. Other singles included "Call Me" and "Don't Look Down". The following year, Go West were named 'Best Newcomers' at the 1986 BRIT Awards.
In 1990 the group finally achieved US success with their single "The King of Wishful Thinking" which featured on the soundtrack of the film ''Pretty Woman''. Subsequent releases from the band received several awards based on airplay in America.
