.: True :. chrisdanielz Date Submitted:  2017-08-25 [Archive Date: 2017-11-23] Genre:  Alternative Rock Original Artist:  Spandau Ballet Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  "True"- a song by the English band Spandau Ballet, released in April 1983 and becoming a huge worldwide hit, peaking at number one in the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, becoming the sixth biggest selling single of the year, and charting highly in 20 other countries. It is actually Spandau Ballet's only major hit in the U.S., but reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and also topped the adult contemporary chart. The lyrics for this song were inspired by a crush Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp had on Altered Images singer and Gregory's Girl star Clare Grogan: "I was infatuated with Clare Grogan," he told The Guardian, "and I met her in Scotland to have tea with her and her mum and dad. Although my feelings were unrequited and the relationship was platonic, it was enough to trigger a song." The lyrics are full of coded messages to Clare, some from the novel, Lolita. The song has been used in a number of movies and TV shows, including The Wedding Singer and Sixteen Candles.
