Artist:The Korgis
Song:Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime
Album:Best
Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime was a top twenty hit in 1980. It was the only hit single in America for the British group The Korgis. They were a much bigger deal at home. The Korgis were from Bristol, England. Lead singer and bassist James Warren and guitarist Andy Davis were members of the 70s band Stackridge. After they split up in 1977, Warren and Davis formed The Korgis with violinist Stuart Gordon and Phil Harrison on keyboards. They recorded for Rialto Records owned by their manager Nick Heath. Their 1979 debut album The Korgis did well enough to get them a US record deal with Asylum Records for the 1980 album Dumb Waiters. The band self produced. Warren and Davis split the songwriting duties. Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime reached #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the British Singles chart. Warren wrote the song. Warren and Davis split up soon after. Warren attempted to keep The Korgis going with the 1982 album Sticky George but it didn't sell and that was the end of The Korgis. This 2CD comp has all their hits. Warren released a solo album in 1986. Warren and Davis reformed The Korgis in 1990 and released the 1992 album This World's For Everyone. Then they split up again. They also returned to Stackridge and both guys have gone back and forth between the bands. Stackridge has been more active in recent years but they retired in 2015. Warren reformed The Korgis in 2017 mostly to tour. But there is supposed to be a new album coming out in 2021. Here's the video for Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime by The Korgis.
