At best, Boy George and his band Culture Club were a dizzy mix of camp, drag, dub, disco, reggae, and new wave. The androgynous George rhumba-ed his way through hits like "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and crooned with white boy soul through their reggae classic "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" as well as the Delta-inspired "Karma Chameleon." At worst, the band had trouble finding direction and the proper vehicles for his smooth voice, producing clunkers like "Church of the Poison Mind." "Move Away" and "Miss Me Blind"--which actually took its chorus from a Japanese whiskey commercial--were Culture Club at their most brilliant. The band knew it wasn't making fine art and rose to the task of crafting flawless pop gems. George's later work didn't have the sense of fun and abandon as his stint with Culture Club, but his remake of "The Crying Game" again demonstrated those soulful pipes. Also worthy of note from his later career is the Krishna-inspired club hit "Bow Dow Mister." --Steve Gdula

the other side of the closet
I just listened to this CD for the first time the other day and I really liked it because it's very funny and entertaining. Is this really what kids listened to 20 years ago? My favorite song is "I'll Tumble 4 Ya." It's such a great song. I also like "The Crying Game," that's the only song I can remember because this has been on MTV (when MTV still stood for music-TV.) That Boy George is a cute kid, but he really shouldn't wear so much mascara. Or people will start to talk. You know how tongues like to wag.
By George, this is a terrific album!!
For those who like pop music and can put their old-fashion expectations of what a man should be aside, this is a must-have cd. I wish I had purchased it sooner!
A must for C.C. fans
This was a gift for my wife, who was a Culture Club fan in the 80s. If you want a good cross-section of the C.C. hits, this is the one.
