Help on band and song question


What was the band's name and the offical song title to the lyrics that went "What ever you want, I want you back forgood"

I heard this song many years ago but never found out who sings it or what the offical name to ths song is.

If anyone can please tell me, I'd really apreciate it. Thank you.

the bands name is Take That and the song was Back for good.

Wasn't that group sort of a British version of the "boy band" craze of the late 1990s?

Leskataus, yes that's true. They were a group of lads put together by a Manchester impressario called Nigel Martin Smith. The difference with Take That though was they wrote most of their own material (well Gary Barlow did), including their only US hit - Back For Good. They reformed towards the end of 2005 after a smash-hit TV program on them "Take That For The Record" - you can watch it in bits on Youtube. They did a tour commencing in April 2006 taking in about 29 Arena and five stadium gigs. The first 29 Arena dates sold out in like under an hour which is why the five stadium concerts needed to be added - these took a further 2 - 3 hours to go. They released an album Beautiful World in November 2006 from which they've had two number one hits - Patience and Shine. The difference this time is that all four guys write the songs together.

They're doing another tour this autumn/winter (which sold out in a couple of hours in February) to which they'll perform to about 500,000 people including the European dates - sadly no Stadium gigs this time as the weather will not permit! In fact - our summer has gone down the drain lately too! So I think they'll probably be around for another year or so. They are apparently doing theme song for a new film you may have heard about "Stardust" - with Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Clare Danes, etc, so we may hear a little more of them via that.

Sorry for the long-winded reply but I'm so glad they're here today (I was too old for boy-bands the first time - but now they are - well credible) Although I have to admit to liking Back For Good the first time round - I just wouldn't admit it!

Sorry Lemon - you're right about the date (didn't spot the 'late 90's bit). But the rest of it is true - they admit it themselves they were manufactured to begin with.

Whatever - they're much more preferable this time round - they even perform the early songs much better.

The song isn't available on US iTunes - the record company never made it available. It is UK iTunes and the physical is still on sale - which is why its going back up the charts. There are quite a few performances of it (live and video) on Youtube though.
