Boogie Box High was a British pop ensemble initiated by Andros Georgiou during the late 1980s. The group featured notable collaborators including George Michael, guitarist Nick Heyward (formerly of Haircut One Hundred), keyboardist Mick Talbot (from the Style Council), guitarist and songwriter David Austin, as well as bassist Deon Estus.
Overview
The project's first single was a rendition of the Bee Gees' 1975 track "[[Jive Talkin'|Jive TalkinTemplate:'-]]", with lead vocals performed by Michael. Released in June 1987, this single climbed to number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.
Their sole album, titled Outrageous, was issued in 1989 and saw distribution in the United States via SBK Records. The album featured singles such as "Jive Talkin", "Gave It All Away", and "Nervous", although the last did not achieve chart success.
George Michael also contributed two unreleased compositions originally intended for Wham!'s first album Fantastic, named "Golden Soul" and "Soul Boy", but these contributions were not officially credited.
