The Real Thing: 50th Anniversary Tour
The Real Thing – with original vocalists Chris Amoo and Dave Smith – enjoyed success in both the ‘70s and ‘80s with three Top 10 singles.
Formed in 1972, The Real Thing are Britain’s longest-established – and best-loved – black group in UK entertainment history. The Real Thing remain pioneers in soul, funk and dance music, undoubtedly still a force to be reckoned with.
