Electronic and Pop
A.k.a. Philip Oakey, Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh, Phillip Adrian Wright, Joanne Catherall, Susanne Sulley, Jo Callis, Ian Burden, Dave Allen, Ken Ansell The League Unlimited Orchestra The Men
Electronic band from Sheffield, England. Formed in 1977 by Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh. Originally called 'The Future', but changed their name to 'The Human League' in 1978 with the addition of vocalist Phil Oakey and the release of the single "Being Boiled". This original lineup lasted until 1980, after which Ware and Marsh left to form Heaven 17. Oakey kept the band name and added female vocalists, and it is this incarnation that gained widespread popularity. Mainly known for a synthesizer based pop sound, in particular the song “Don’t You Want Me”. The Human League released in 1982 a remix album, Love and Dancing, under the band name "The League Unlimited Orchestra" as a nod to Barry White's disco-era Love Unlimited Orchestra.
