Kajagoogoo were a British new wave band, best known for their 1983 hit single “Too Shy“, which reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart, and the Top 10 in numerous other countries.
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.
’White Feathers ’ is the title track from their debut album with the same title.
This performance was filmed by TROS tv for the pop tv progam Formula 1 in concert on February 8, 1985
