1) King was an England-based band which was formed in 1983 after the break-up of ska revivalists the Reluctant Stereotypes of which Paul King (vocals) was a member. The remainder of King comprised Tony Wall (bass), Mick Roberts (keyboards), James Lantsbery (guitar) and ex-Members Adrian Lillywhite (drums). They made their debut supporting the Mighty Wah! and signed to CBS Records. Despite extensive touring and a sizeable following, their first three singles and Steps In Time sold poorly. The break came late in 1984 when they supported Culture Club and reached a whole new teen audience. “Love And Pride” was released early next year, and made number 2 in the UK chart, while the album went to number 6. The hits continued throughout the year, most notably with the Top 10 hit, “Alone Without You”, but King abruptly disbanded in 1986. Paul King pursued a solo career, releasing Joy in 1987, which at best gave him a minor UK hit with “I Know”.

The mention of the "real King" is the truth. British King is garbage.

As a teenager I was deeply in love with Paul. After many years I have to confirm he's hmm... trashy ;-)

The so-propagated "real king" is nothing like the original one: Paul King's band is the real. All the others are just grabbers of the name. Accept no imitations!
