Take That… Back For Good?
In the early 90s when Manchester was producing some of music’s most-talked-about groups, such as Oasis, The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses, a manager named Nigel Martin-Smith had decided that the pop charts needed a severe injection of fun. Martin-Smith auditioned prospective stars and assembled a line up of five working-class boys from the North West of England.

Their first album, "Take That and Party," was released in 1992, and contained the above hit singles.
1993 saw the release of Take That's most successful original album "Everything Changes". Amazingly four UK number one singles were spawned by it - "Pray", "Relight...
