The Korgis

Another one-hit wonder, at least on this side of the Atlantic, from the world of music. The Korgis were a British Band that hit #18 with the song “Everybody’s gotta learn sometime” back in 1980. It would be their only chart hit in the US though they did remain successful for many years back in their native England. Back when this song hit the radio when I was in High School, me and all my friends were sure that the lead singer of the band had to be a woman. Not until we saw the video were we all proven wrong. Now, 30 years later….still a great song……stupid name for a band…..but a great song.

    I was the drummer on this track and I also played acoustic rhythm guitar on this track, although I never got a credit for it. James Warren sent a taxi down to pick me up, even though I had flu, he was insistent that I played guitar. When the session finished he did not get me a taxi back and I had to walk through 4 feet of snow to get back home. Thanks James.

    Sorry, the track I was talking about was ” If I had you”

  3. loving your site. i wouldn’t say that it’s a stupid name for a band, no more stupid than most of the others here anyway. korgi’s are a welsh breed of dog, most famously owned by the queen of england.
