Terry, Blair & Anouchka was a British musical ensemble active during the early 1990s, consisting of Coventry-born vocalist Terry Hall, American artist Blair Booth, and psychoanalyst and author Anouchka Grose.
Terry Hall initially gained recognition as a founding vocalist of the British ska group the Specials, before establishing Fun Boy Three in 1981 and subsequently forming the Colourfield in 1984.
History
Following the end of Terry Hall's former band the Colourfield, the trio united, driven by a mutual appreciation for 1960s pop and quirky mainstream tunes, exemplified by their rendition of Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together". Their first single, "Missing," released in late 1989, reached number 75 on the UK Singles Chart. This was succeeded by "Ultra Modern Nursery Rhyme," which attained number 77. Their only album, Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes, came out in February 1990 prior to their separation.
Afterward, Blair Booth co-founded Oui 3 with Philipp Erb and Trevor Miles in 1991, gaining prominence with the 1993 track "Break from the Old Routine".
In 1992, Terry Hall partnered with Dave Stewart to form the duo Vegas, releasing a self-titled album that same year.
