His Songs: The Songs That
Made Boy George A Star
Boy George has been active in so many
different types of music that it would be difficult to call any specific
songs "quintessential Boy George". However, there are some songs from each
era of his career which he is best known for, beginning with the most
famous of all: Culture Club.
Culture Club's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" was a surprise when it was
released. The sound was one which was mellow, progressive, and pop all at
once. Most of all, this song stood out as the one which really introduced
Boy George to the world. No one had ever seen or heard anything quite like
this, and the sound remains unique to this day.
"Karma Chameleon" was another standout Culture Club song, and with its
upbeat and quirky pop fusion sound, it was an immediate hit. In the early
days of MTV, this was a song that captured the imagination of a whole
generation of early 80s youth. In rapid succession, "Miss Me Blind", "It's
A Miracle", and "Church Of The Poison Mind",all from the same album,
became radio and MTV hits as well.

When Boy George started his solo career, he also began what would be one
of many changes in musical style. One of his standout solo hits was "The
Crying Game". With its poignant sound and strong and deep vocals, this
song provided a major boost to not only Boy George's then flagging career,
but also to the movie of the same title.
Boy George had some very unique songs during his stint with Jesus Loves
You such as "Bow Down Mister". This song was inspired by his time in India
and his interest in the Hare Krishna movement. The song's mix of dance
electronica and Indian rythms connected with British audiences and made
the song into a hit, but it didn't find American success.
In recent years, Boy George has been best known as a DJ, and his unique
brand of dance music has been very much sought after in Europe. Some of
his most popular mixes have occasionally made it into album release, but
he is largely out of the public eye today and is not actively pursuing a
music career at this time.
