TAKE THAT!

Take That in the 90s

Take That were one of the most successful British five-piece boy bands during the 90s, comprising Mark Owen, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Gary Barlow was the main lead singer and songwriter. Robbie left the band in 1995 to launch a solo career, while the four remaining members continued together for a year, when they eventually split up.

Take That now

A four-piece (without Williams) made a comeback in 2006 achieving a great success.

Williams rejoined the group in 2010. He's just released a new solo album in collaboration with Gary Barlow.

BBC Music - TAKE THAT

And now enjoy one of their songs, "Shine". It was released in 2007 and it won the British Single of the Year Award at the 2008 Brit Awards. It has a very catchy tune and its lyrics have a few phrasal verbs :)

And as a present, watch the video of "The Flood". This song is the first to feature Robbie Williams since his return to the band in July 2010, and features Gary Barlow and Williams on lead vocals.

The video features the five members of the band racing against another crew in specially-made five-seater Sculling boats. The band's boat is named "Progress" after the record breaking number 1 album, whilst the band wear old-fashioned white rowing kits, bearing a custom-designed Take That crest. The group is shown to be competing in a race against a younger crew and although losing the race, the group continue going past the finish line and are shown to row down the River Thames past famous London landmarks before fading away into a stormy sea.

 It's an awesome video, isn't it? They're definitely my cup of tea now :)
