Jimmy Somerville - For a Friend: The Best of Bronski Beat, The Communards & Jimmy Somerville 2CD set

2009 2CD from vocalist Jimmy Somerville containing solo material as well as cuts from the two bands he fronted in the '80s: Bronski Beat and the Communards. With his unique falsetto, Somerville first caught the public's attention with Bronski Beat, who had tremendous success with 'Smalltown Boy' and 'Why'. He shocked everyone by splitting from that band after their first album, forming the equally successful Communards. After two albums, Somerville then went solo. This comprehensive collection spans all three of Somerville's creative guises across a 25-year period and contains Top 20 singles, a host of album tracks and popular remixes
