Jimmy put out a nice tweet.  I often wondered why Jimmy Somerville left the band for "The Communards". Bronski Beat still released some decent songs, with a new singer, like "Hit that Perfect Beat" and Eartha Kitt & Bronski Beat with "Cha Cha Heels", which is below..  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as well Somerville was a lot more commercially driven than the rest. Anyway, while they were together they made some great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
