Kajagoogoo - Too Shy • TopPop

Published 2015-10-09
The band signed with EMI Records in July 1982 after Limahl had met keyboardist Nick Rhodes of the group Duran Duran while working as a waiter at London's Embassy Club. Rhodes proceeded to co-produce the band's first single, "Too Shy" with Duran Duran's EMI producer Colin Thurston.
The single was released on 10 January 1983 and topped the UK Singles Chart, having done so before any of Duran Duran's singles (as Rhodes himself has lightheartedly noted).
Follow-up singles "Ooh to Be Aah" and "Hang on Now" also both reached the UK Top 20, and the group's debut album 'White Feathers' reached No. 5 in the UK Albums Chart. After being the support act for the Birmingham band Fashion in late 1982, Kajagoogoo embarked on their own headlining White Feathers tour in Spring 1983.

Absolutely one of the best bass lines of the early 80’s
-
Nick Beggs bassline in this song is simply amazing.
-
Back in the day when we were all young and sexy. Now we are just sexy
-
We were so into this back in the day we loved their look and this tune is still immense in 2019

Limahl possessed one of the most alluring, sensual voices in the history of Rock and Pop music. It's beyond sad that he hasn't become a big star, as he certainly has talent and charisma in spades. Thank god he is still touring, wish he'd come to the Central Valley of California.
-
Limahl had such a cool Voice!
-
Nick Beggs is one of the best bass players of all time.
-
His voice is so smooth and calming... I'm addicted to this song and will never stop listening to it ❤️
-
This song is now forty friggin' years old and still slammin'...have only recently become ADDICTED to this bass line and appreciate the wonder that is Nick Beggs. 😎 ❤☮🌎
-
In an interview, Limahl opened a concert and the first thing he noticed was that the first 3 rows all had hair just like his. And Nick Beggs is quite some bass bass player like no other.
-
One of the best bass lines of the 80s. Nick is a true genius. Play it loud!
-
Who is still listening to Kajagoogoo in 2019 ? Don’t be shy now😌
-
Limahl 💜 SUCH talent, charisma and charm. Gorgeous.
-
Love this, reminds me of good times when I was a teen, the clothes, classic. x
-
Now here's a record that stands up to the test of time. Hasn't aged a day and, for me, has never sounded better.
-
the 1980s were magical. the 80s had to be eternal
-
The 80's music ....loved it
-
After over 35 years of getting this song stuck in my head every time I hear it, I finally figured out he was saying "hush hush, eye to eye" and not "hush hush, I do I"
-
Nick Beggs is awesome and he has carried his talent throughout his life as a bass guitar player.
-
I miss the 80s so much it was even great as I was a teenager from 1983 to 1989 and i was so happy and carefree.Am 48 now and never felt so unhappy and trapped.I wish i could get a time machine and go back to 80s again to feel happy again.
