British singer-songwriter Boy George was part of the English New Romantic movement which emerged in the late 1970s to the early 1980s. He was the lead singer of the pop band Culture Club and became known for his soulful voice and androgynous appearance. His music is often classified as blue-eyed soul, which is influenced by rhythm and blues and reggae. His 1990s and 2000s-era solo music has glam influences, such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop.
Boy George was born George Alan O'Dowd in Bexley, U.K., in 1961. George was a follower of the New Romantic movement which was popular in Britain in the early 1980s. He lived in various squats around Warren Street in Central London. He and his friend Marilyn were regulars at The Blitz, a trendy London nightclub run by Steve Strange of the group Visage. Boy George's androgynous style of dressing caught the attention of music executive Malcolm McLaren (previously the manager of the Sex Pistols), who arranged for George to perform with the group Bow Wow Wow. Going by the stage name Lieutenant Lush, his tenure with Bow Wow Wow proved problematic with lead singer Annabella Lwin. George eventually left the group and started his own band with bassist Mikey Craig. They were joined by Jon Moss (who had been drumming stints with The Damned and Adam and the Ants), and then guitarist Roy Hay. Realizing they had a cross-dressing Irish singer (George), a black-Briton (Craig), a Jewish drummer (Moss), and an ethnic Englishman (Hay), they settled on the name Culture Club, referring to the various ethnic backgrounds of the members. George and Moss, initially unbeknownst to the other band members and the general public, were involved in a romantic relationship. The band recorded demos that were paid for by EMI Records but the label declined to sign them. Virgin Records, however, expressed interest in signing the group in the UK for European releases, while Epic Records handled the US and North American distribution. They released their debut album Kissing to Be Clever (UK#5, US#14) in 1982. The single Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? became an international hit, reaching No. 1 in a dozen countries around the world, plus the top ten in several more countries (US No. 2). This was followed by the Top 5 hit Time" in the US and UK, and "I'll Tumble 4 Ya which reached the US no. 9. Their next album, Colour By Numbers was an enormous success, topping the UK charts and hit No. 2 in the US. The single Church of the Poison Mind became a Top 10 hit, and Karma Chameleon became an international hit, peaking at No. 1 in sixteen countries, and the top ten in additional countries. It hit No. 1 in the US where it stayed for three weeks. It was the best-selling single of the year in the United Kingdom, where it spent six weeks at No. 1. Victims and It's A Miracle were further Top 5 UK hits, while Miss Me Blind reached the Top 5 in the US. The band's third album Waking Up with the House on Fire (UK#2, US#26) was not as big a hit as its predecessors. Although the first single, The War Song, was a no.2 hit in the UK, further singles performed below expectations. George then provided a lead vocal role on the Band Aid hit single Do They Know It's Christmas. The single featured mostly British and Irish musical acts, and proceeds from the song were donated to feed famine victims in Africa during the 1984-1985 famine in Ethiopia. Unlike many of the bands featured on the single, Culture Club did not perform at Live Aid in July 1985. In 1986, Culture Club released its fourth album, From Luxury to Heartache (UK#10, US#32) which featured the hit single, Move Away. However, word shortly began circulating in tabloids that George was addicted to drugs. He was arrested in Britain for possession of cannabis. Shortly thereafter, keyboardist Michael Rudetsky, who co-wrote the song Sexuality on Culture Club's From Luxury to Heartache album, was found dead of a heroin overdose in George's London home. Rudetsky's parents filed a wrongful death suit in Britain against George, seeking financial damages for their son's death. With George's drug addiction, the underwhelming performance of their last two albums, a soured romance between band members shrouded in secrecy, and a wrongful death lawsuit looming, the group ultimately disbanded. George won the court case against the Rudetskys and was not required to pay any monetary damages
In 1987, Boy George released his first solo album, Sold, which garnered mild success in Europe. It spawned the UK singles Everything I Own (UK No. 1), Keep Me in Mind (UK No. 29), To be Reborn (UK No. 13), and the title song, Sold (UK No. 24). The singles were also hits in various other European countries. The album's success, however, was not duplicated in America. Boy George also founded and was the lead singer of Jesus Loves You during the period 1989–1992. In 1992, George had a major US and UK hit with the song The Crying Game, from the soundtrack for the British psychological thriller drama The Crying Game (Neil Jordan, 1992). The film became a surprise hit and the single reached the No. 15 in the US. Although he had had several solo hits in Europe, this would be Boy George's biggest US hit since Culture Club's Move Away reached the US Top 20. In July 1998, a reunited Culture Club performed three dates in Monte Carlo and then joined the Human League and Howard Jones in a Big Rewind tour of the US. The following month, the band appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman and made an appearance in Britain, their first in 14 years. Later that year, the band hit the UK charts at No. 4 with I Just Wanna Be Loved and later a top 25 hit with Your Kisses are Charity. A new Culture Club album, Don't Mind If I Do, was released in 1999 but was a commercial failure. A success was the London musical Taboo, based on the New Romantic scene of the early 1980s in which George played performance artist Leigh Bowery. Boy George was nominated for a Tony Award for the Best Musical Score and Taboo played two years London's West End. Being involved in many activities (among them songwriting, DJing, writing books, designing clothes and photography, he has released fewer music recordings in the last decade.

"Almighty God,
We have been taught by the legend of St George
to fight against dragons and to rescue the helpless.
Deliver us by the truth of the gospel
from that great dragon who leads the whole world astray.
Free us from our slavery to sin and death.
And grant that your light may dawn again on this nation of England.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen."
Today is St George's day because the feast was transferred this year from 23 April, as it was Holy Saturday.
