The original line-up of Pride had included singer Sade, and their co-written song ‘Smooth Operator’ became a worldwide hit in the mid-80s. After a lengthy search for a suitable singer it was Christian James that was given the role with Neil Palmer added as keyboardist. The band were signed on a one year development deal with Epic Records in 1988. The band released five singles including a re-released version of their debut single 'Wanted'.
