Limahl
from Making Sound with Jann Klose Hosted by Jann Klose
EPISODE 129: Winning the hearts of millions of fans in the 80s as the lead singer of British band Kajagoogoo, Limahl enjoyed the instant celebrity of hitting the top of the charts with his debut single ‘Too Shy’ which was followed by two more Top 20 hits ‘Ooh to Be Ah’ & ‘Hang on Now’ (all of which he co-wrote). After being unceremoniously (and infamously) kicked out of the band, Limahl struck out on his own and soon re-emerged in the charts again with his first solo single ‘Only For Love’. That was quickly followed by the Giorgio Moroder– produced worldwide smash ‘Neverending Story’, theme song from the hit film of the same name. 2019 saw Limahl re-enter mass collective consciousness when his music was highlighted by three major US television shows. Too Shy was featured in the standalone, interactive Black Mirror episode Bandersnatch on Netflix and also in AMC’s hit anthology American Horror Story: 1984, while Neverending Story played a pivotal role in the third season of Netflix’s Stranger Things. His new single and remake of the America classic "Horse With No Name" is out now. limahl.com Contact us: makingsoundpodcast.com Follow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcast Follow on Threads: @jannklose Join our Facebook Group Please support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!
