Boy George (born George Alan ODowd; 14 June 1961) is a British singer-songwriter, who was part of the English New Romantic movement which emerged in the late 1970s to the early 1980s. His music is often classified as blue-eyed soul, which is influenced by rhythm and blues and reggae. His 1990s and 2000s-era solo music has glam influences, such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop. During the 1980s, Boy George was the lead singer of the Grammy and Brit Award winning pop band Culture Club where he became known for his soulful voice and androgynous appearance. He also founded and was lead singer of Jesus Loves You during the period 1989–1992. Being involved in many activities (among them songwriting, DJing, writing books, designing clothes and photography), he has released fewer music recordings in the last decade. George had a major US and UK hit with the song The Crying Game, from the soundtrack for the movie of the same name. The movie became a surprise hit and the single reached the No. 15 in the US. Although he had had several solo hits in Europe, this would be Boy Georges biggest US hit since Culture Clubs Move Away reached the US Top 20. https://youtube/watch?v=-EPGhjxm0G0
