Right Said Fred formed in 1989.
Their debut single ‘I’m Too Sexy’ was released in 1991 without a record. It reached the #1 slot in 30 countries including the US.
The guys have sales exceeding 30M, 5 x US #1s as songwriters and artist, 2 x Ivor Novello Awards and 5 x US Radio Airplay Awards.
They have never signed to a major record label, they remain independent.
We were commissioned to write a song for a new country artist. Just heard from the client in Nashville, the song we wrote on Monday has been accepted.
We tend to avoid starch and bread etc so we celebrated with a pizza 👍
HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY ’I’m Too Sexy’.
When we first recorded "I'm Too Sexy" every record label rejected it. We couldn't get it signed, one label said it would never sell because the song starts with a vocal, and many of the execs never bothered to listen it.
Then, ‘I’m Too Sexy’ landed on Simon Bate's desk on his Radio 1 Breakfast Show and also the Gary Crowley show on the BBC, it just went mental, the song was being picked up everywhere .
It was an instant hit becoming #1 across the world including the US (Billboard Hot 100) making it the first debut single since The Beatles to achieve that chart position. ‘I’m Too Sexy’ has reached the #1 spot in the US on the Billboard 100 four times now due to the re-works by Taylor Swift, Drake and Beyoncé.
Happy birthday to "I'm Too Sexy" and a massive thank you to the fans and everyone who has supported us along the way.
Geek alert. ‼️
Re-jigged my fly-in pedalboard for forthcoming shows. Added the Xotic Super Clean as an always-on pedal, UA Teletronix compressor and Wampler Ratsbane mini fuzz. The rest remain the same. A big thanks as always to Chris Ryan at Custom Pedalboards. #custompedalboards
