George Alan O’Dowd is celebrating his 61st Birthday today, you know him better as Boy George, the flamboyant lead singer of Culture Club. The band burst on to the scene in 1982 with their hit “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” and went on to MTV fame & fortune with the international smash “Karma Chameleon”.
His music is described as blue-eyed soul and he was clearly influenced by stars like David Bowie. For today’s Forgotten 45 we go back to ’83 for “Church of the Poisoned Mind” the 4th of 5 straight top 10 hits for the band.
