Flashback: Culture Club's Mr. Man


Culture Club were one of the most enigmatic pop bands to grace the colourful 1980's. Composed of Boy George, John Moss, Mikey Craig and Roy Hay, the band enjoyed a  memorable though somewhat short reign that saw their influence and popularity dwindle before the end of the decade. 

Their second album, Colour by numbers has sold over 10 million copies and gave us some of their most enduring and popular tracks. It is rated as one of the best albums of the 80's with its signature Karma Chameleon topping the charts in more than six countries including the USA, UK and Nigeria when it was released in 1983. 

The track Mister Man ranks nowhere near other tracks in terms of popularity as it was never released as a single but is a critic's delight and one of the most catchy songs ever done by the group.
