In 1984, you couldn’t escape Boy George. The androgynous singer was ubiquitous that year, having major hit singles on both sides of the Atlantic, album sales in the millions, and a “Best New Artist” Grammy for his band Culture Club. The platinum Colour By Numbers—perfectly epitomizing pop music circa ’84—was #1 in 50 countries. In the midst of the craziness, the paparazzi, the magazine covers and the tabloid sensationalism, Culture Club went Down Under like a tornado. Australia had never seen anything like it. Televised live all over the continent from Sydney in front of a wildly enthusiastic audience, the show was the perfect vehicle for the supremely telegenic Boy George and his brand of soul.
