Biography
The Human League are a British synthpop band formed in Sheffield, South
Yorkshire in 1977. They achieved popularity after a key change in line-up in the
early 1980s and have continued recording and performing with success throughout
the 1980s up to the present day.
Originally an avant-garde all-male synthesizer-based group from Sheffield, the
only constant band member since 1977 is vocalist and songwriter Philip Oakey.
Since 1987, the band has essentially been a trio of Oakey and long-serving
female vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley (who joined the band in
1980), with various sidemen. The Human League has influenced many electro-pop,
other synthpop, and mainstream acts including Madonna, Moby, Pet Shop Boys and
Little Boots. They have been sampled and covered by various artists including
Ministry of Sound, Craig David, George Michael and Robbie Williams.
Since 1978, they have released nine studio albums, 26 singles (including eight
UK Top 10 singles with two #1 singles in the U.S./UK) and played over 350 live
concerts. The Human League has sold an estimated 20 million records worldwide.
