Led by vocalist and bassist Mark King, whose slap bass technique became their sonic trademark, the band achieved significant success throughout the 1980s. Hits including 'Lessons in Love,' 'Something About You,' 'Running in the Family,' and 'It's Over' showcased their tight musicianship and accessible jazz-influenced pop.
