1989 RIGHT SAID FRED formed.

1989-90     Fred and Richard did gigs for a year in the UK before hooking up with Rob Manzoli as a 3rd member and writing partner.

 

1990-91     Fred, Rich and Rob had their first writing session and the outcome was 'I'm Too Sexy'. They tracked down a programmer who helped them develop the groove and style of the track and they found a studio in Ealing that had recently gone bankrupt. They booked two long night sessions and recorded vocals and guitar.

Having run out of cash they played the rough mix to anyone who would listen hoping for some friendly advice EMI, Warners, Sony, Universal in fact everyone passed on the song.

 

After meeting a DJ/re-mixer Tommy D the boys got the final mix and played it to an independent plugger who got lucky at Radio One with the producer of the Simon Bates show. He played 'I'm Too Sexy' straight to air and the phones (thank the lord) went crazy and the discerning people of Great Britain had spoken.

 

FUN FRED FACT ...... Madonna names Richard as the most bed-able man in pop!

 

1991-92  'I'm Too Sexy' spends 6 weeks at No2 and approximately 4 months in the UK Top 10. The song spreads very quickly internationally and charts all through Europe. No1 in 32 countries including the US where it spent 10 weeks at No1 on the Billboard Sales Chart!

'Don’t Talk Just Kiss' was the 2nd single which reached No3 Christmas 1991.it also enjoyed a lot of chart success world wide including South America, Japan and was No1 on the US Dance Chart

 

1992 Deeply Dippy' was the 3rd single and Right Said Fred's first UK No1. This was quickly followed by their debut Platinum album 'UP' which entered the UK album charts at No1.

 

The band toured and promoted for the rest of 1992 in the US, Japan, Australia and Europe. The 'UP' album sold in excess of 7 million worldwide.

Fred, Richard and Rob were awarded 2 Ivor Novello's for 'I'm too Sexy' and 'Deeply Dippy' plus a Brits nomination.

       FUN FRED FACT...... Right Said Fred was the first British artist since The Beatles to reach No1 in the US with a debut single!

 

1993.  Having written and recorded the UK hit 'Stick it Out' for Comic Relief The Fred's released their second album 'Sex and Travel', which received glowing reviews particularly in the USA. As the album quickly hit a million sales

Right Said Fred rehearsed a band, hired a tour bus hit the road and sold out venues all over Europe.

 

1994-95. The Fred's released their 3rd album 'Smashing,' this time on their own label. The singles 'Big Time' and 'Living on a Dream' were both Top 10 hits and once again the boys went on the road and toured for the remainder of the year.

 

1996-98 Fred and Richard parted company with Rob Manzoli............. to be honest everything else at this time was a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

FUN FRED FACT...... I'm Too Sexy kills!!!!! .........In the US at a table-dance club a man dies during a lap-dance, the coroner states, "cause of death excessive aural excitement".......... and the song that was playing was........????

2000 Right Said Fred signed to BMG Berlin.

2001 Right Said Fred released 'You're my Mate'. This reached No 4 in Germany achieving Gold status and Top 20 in the UK. 'You're my Mate' went on to chart all over Europe and since then has been warmly adopted as a sports anthem notably the official song for the South African Rugby Team. This was followed by the album 'Fredhead', which entered the charts at No2 achieving Gold status and staying in the Top 20 for the rest of the summer.

 

FUN FRED FACT....... Tom Hanks impersonates Right Said Fred on Saturday Night Live while singing, "don't cut off my testicles".

2002 Right Said Fred released their second BMG album 'Stand Up'. This and the single of the same name were both became Top 10 hits achieving Gold status and giving them their first No1 in Japan.

 'Stand Up' has gone on to be another massive sports anthem both in Europe and the US. The Cincinnati Wild Cats adopted the song after they won the NFL in 2003 and the NFL continues to use 'Stand Up' as a motivational anthem.

2004-06 Right Said Fred toured extensively through Europe playing festivals, arenas and were Special Guests on German superstar Nena's Tour. During this period they performed at the 2006 World Cup opening ceremony in front of 200,000 people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

FUN FRED FACT ...... Jay-Z raps about Right Said Fred in his song' The Ruler's back'...... "I'm too sexy for jail like Right Said Fred".

2007-08 Right Said Fred returned to the UK to write and record their new album 'I'm a Celebrity'. The title track is planned as first single.

It parodies "celebrity culture" and is already getting good radio support in the US and will be available soon in Europe and the UK.

Cheers, 

Fred & Richard XX
