Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Fmartin Fry (born 9 March 1958, Stockport, Cheshire) is lead singer of the band, ABC. He grew up in Bramhall, Stockport, alongside his younger brother Jamie (of Earl Brutus). Martin Fry first met up with future bandmates Mark White and Stephen Singleton while interviewing them for a fanzine that he edited called Modern Drugs. White and Singleton, then fronting a rock band called Vice Versa, invited Fry to join their band to play keyboard. The group changed its name to ABC and changed its sound to a polished type of pop music called New Romantic that at that time led them to be categorized with bands like Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, and The Human League. Between 1982 and 1992, ABC recorded six studio albums (The Lexicon of Love, Beauty Stab, How to Be a...Zillionaire!, Alphabet City, Up andAbracadabra) and released a greatest hits compilation, Absolutely. During this time, the band went through numerous personnel changes, with Martin Fry and Mark White being the only permanent members.
