Loose Ends
Biography
One of the top British dance and urban contemporary trios in the early '80s, Loose Ends formed in London. They were originally called Loose End, and included Carl McIntosh, Jane Eugene, and Steve Nichol. Virgin signed them in 1981, and their debut was written by Chris and Eddie Amoo of the Real Thing. The group changed its name to Loose Ends in 1983, and signed with MCA in America in 1984. Their single "Hanging on a String (Contemplating)" topped the R&B charts in 1985, and they repeated that achievement in 1986 with "Slow Down." Their last hit was "Watching You" in 1988, which reached number two. The group shuffled its lineup in 1990 for the release of Look How Long, with McIntosh now joined by Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman. McIntosh also produced several artists, notably Caron Wheeler. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

I love this group and always will. Their music has stood the test of time.

Know matter how many times I hear this song, it always has me jammin'. This was and is a bomb cut! Thank you, Carl, Jane, and Steve for keeping the party going! You got me hangin' on for over 20 years now.

Loose Ends was a group way ahead of their time! To this day, their sound is top shelf! Funky grooves, Smooth funk, slow jams, crusin' music, they covered the bases!!
|
||
I followed their music the whole time I lived in Europe. They were great, What are they up too these days?
|
||
I'm so glad that so many fans have left comments for Loose Ends. I thought I was the only one who still remembers them!
|
||
I had an opportunity to hear the group perform in concert in Jacksonville , FL and it was great. They really got the crowd up and dancing and it was a treat after not seeing them perform for a long time.
|
||
I so wish they had not been such a flash in the pan. They were an excellent group and they really showed that the British understand R&B and soul as well as jazz.
I wonder what the members are up to these days? |
||
In my opionion, Loose Ends is/was one of the most creative good sound, mood producing groups around. Truely unique.
|
||
Pandora do us all a BIG favor, find this group AND BRING THEM BACK.. OLE SKOL FOREVER!!!
|
||
I totally agree. I was a graduating high school student on my way to college when this came out. This groups sounds like they just came out. "Zagora, and The Real Chuckeeboo" are two great albums. They are the best..

Timeless - sounded good in the 80's and now twenty years later - still very sensous! Rachel

Loose Ends and Omar are two of the UK's preeminent if not best Soul/R&B/Urb a n
music creators. I wonder what a collabortion would have produced. Kolij9@yahoo . c o m |

The "Tomorrow" cut is my favorite from The Real Chuckeeboo album, liked it so much that I bought two albums in the 80's. I played the heck out of this album during my early days in the Navy onboard ship, USS Bainbridge (CGN-25). I still play it to this day, sounds just as good!!
