Scritti Politti
Scritti Politti are a British band, originally formed in 1977 in Leeds, by Cardiff-born singer-songwriter Green Gartside. Initially a left-wing-inspired post-punk British rock group, Scritti Politti developed into a more mainstream pop music project in the early to mid-1980s, enjoying significant success in the record charts in the UK and the US. The group's most successful album, 1985's Cupid & Psyche 85, spawned three UK Top 20 hits with "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)", "Absolute", and "The Word Girl", as well as a US Top 20 hit with "Perfect Way".
The band's 1988 album Provision was a UK Top 10 success,and produced one UK Top 20 hit single "Oh Patti". The bands success has continued and they released A Day Late and a Dollar Short in 2011.
