The Communards
Jimmy Somerville left his earlier band Bronski Beat and joined forces with Richard Coles to form the The Communards. Coles played a number of instruments but mainly piano and had been seen previously performing the clarinet solos on the Bronski Beat hit “It Ain’t Necessarily So”. Somerville was well known for his falsetto singing style which had a fantastic appeal over the air waves. He was a active member for gay rights.Communards comes from the French term for people from a commune.Karl Marx used the word “communist” to honour the revolution in 1871 known as the Paris Commune and referred to them as communards.The Communards had huge hits with their cover of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes’ song, “Don’t Leave Me This Way” as well as “Never Can Say Goodbye”.
