Not much info about Londonbeat other than the fact that it's an Anglo-American band formed in the late 1980s and originally composed of Jimmy Helms, Jimmy Chambers and Charles Pierre.
Group that will remain mainly in the musical history of the 80s for the mega hit "I've been thinking about you" released in 1990.
Which will not prevent them from subsequently producing other titles of significant quality in the years and decades that follow...
As such alone, we had to devote this article to them.
To discover or rediscover...

Tracks :
1988 ... after a first attempt that was not followed up, the group finally obtained a first classified title with this title. A first year of existence to break in and rise slowly, but surely, in power ...
1988 ... the group displays a most interesting versatility of style. In just one year they will have already shown everything they are capable of. And it is rather promising !
1989 ... a smooth end of the 80s, an area they particularly like at first sight ...
1990 ... the 1980s saw them hatch and grow, but it was the 1990s that would consecrate them. Here they are quite simply signing the biggest success of their career thanks to this enormous title which will undoubtedly remain as one of the biggest titles of the decade. MAS-TER-FUL !
1990 ... an exceptional year in all respects, since they won a second star here to add to their prize list. In just 2 titles they will have become one of the biggest phenomena of the moment on a planetary level !
1990 ... the pass of 3. Three titles for this single year 1990 but only two will have the favor of the public. This third title will pass completely and especially surprisingly under the radar ...
1991 ... here they are revisiting Bob Marley dating from 1974. And my faith, this new completely unstructured version is to say the least astonishing and has the merit of playing it total originality ...
1992 ... a great adventure that continues with this new title. Admittedly, the group will never again find the level of success reached during the year 1990 but remains in contact with the best and that is especially that the essential !
1992 ... the best years are now behind, but the group is quietly continuing its path. And continues to deliver titles that hold up well. The proof with this title !
1992 ... the pass of 3, again. Last time it was 2 mega hits and a third title that went unnoticed. This time, it's 2 top hits and a small hit. Nice prize list anyway !
1994 ... after an empty year 1993, the group came back in great shape in 1994. In any case, sufficient form to sign a last planetary top hit and show that he is still there above all !
1995 ... the rest will unfortunately be more figurative than anything else. There will be production of titles certainly but to the most limited success ...
1995...we're not going to lie to each other, the best years are now behind them but that won't stop them from continuing the adventure, far from it...
1999 ... there it is downright 4 years of air gap which will separate this title from the title which preceded it. And this time, the return will not necessarily be a winner, unfortunately despite the quality of the title ...
2003 ... they will try the transition to the 2000s but what did not work at the end of the 90s is not likely to work more than that at the beginning of the 2000s. When it doesn't want any more, it doesn't want any more ...
2003...it would still have been a damn shame if they threw in the towel prematurely when we see what they are still capable of producing...
2003...it's really hard to understand how the group could disappear from the Charts in this way because they really deserved to be there for a little while longer...
2004...the level of inspiration of the group manages to maintain itself at a level that is impressive to say the least, which is inevitably felt in the quality of the tracks produced...
2004...it's not one track or two tracks per album that are inspired but almost the whole thing. We therefore inevitably ask for more...
2004...they are doing everything they can to try to eventually get back into the race and who could dissuade them when we see what they are capable of...
2004...after each new title we say to ourselves that it might be the last. We'll see what the future holds for them - or not -...
2023...we thought we would never see them again but it was very bad to know them because here they are back almost 20 years later. Who would've believed that...?
