Dexys Midnight Runners
Band, 1978-1986 GB, Birmingham
Rock, R&B/Soul and Pop
Dexys Midnight Runners (currently called Dexys) are an English pop band with soul influences, who achieved their major success in the early to mid-1980s. They are best known for their songs "Come On Eileen" and "Geno", both of which peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as six other top-20 singles. However, in the U.S., due to lacklustre promotion, Dexys' only hit was "Come On Eileen", which gave the band an image as "one-hit wonders".
