Biography
Formed in 1978 by former Stackridge members James Warren and Andy Davis (AKA Andrew Cresswell-Davis), the Korgis was a British pop band best known for their 1980 hit âEverybodyâs Got to Learn Sometimeâ. When British folk and progressive rock band Stackridge split up in 1976, guitarist and keyboardist Davis formed the Korgis with James Warren, who had been a member of Stackridge from their 1969 inception until 1973. While the duo were the focal point of the band, the Korgisâ line-up also included Stuart Gordon (acoustic guitar, violin) and Phil Harrison (keyboards). Rather than follow on the same musical path as Stackridge, the Korgisâ quirky sound was closer to new wave and synthpop. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1979 and included their first chart hit, âIf I Had Youâ, which reached Number 13 in the UK charts. The following year, they released their sophomore album Dumb Waiters, which contained âEverybodyâs Got to Learn Sometimeâ, which rose to Number Five in the UK and reached the Top 20 in Australia and the U.S. Davis left the Korgis and Warren, Gordon, and Harrison recorded their third album, Sticky George, which was released in 1981. While singles like âAll The Love In The Worldâ should have matched previous successes, they were not hits and after one final single, âDonât Look Backâ, The Korgis split up. James Warren released a few more singles as either the Korgis or James Warren & the Korgis, but by the time his first solo album, Burning Questions, was released in 1986, he had dropped the Korgis name. In 1992, Davis and Warren reunited as the Korgis and released the album This Worldâs For Everyone. In 2006, they released the single âSomething About the Beatlesâ. Since then, Davis and Warren have resurrected Stackridge and the Korgis over the years for live shows, acoustic releases and more.
