Not American[edit]

Contemporary sources universally called this group British, not British-American. I'm writing here because a large number of Italian IPs have been adding "-American" to the group since October 2023.[1]

  • Spin said the group was "one of the latest British acts to invade the U.S. via MTV."[2]
  • The Billboard Book of Number One Hits describes how group member Jimmy Helms was born in Florida and moved to the UK in the 1970s. He sang with a number of British acts, then he met Trinidadian Jimmy Chambers and American George Chandler who were both working in the UK. The three wanted to form a group and they found "true Brit" Willy "M" Henshaw, who had been working in New York but had returned to England. The group formed in 1987 in London, and signed to the British management team that was handling Eurhythmics. Then they signed to AnXious Records in the UK. Helms said, "This band wouldn't have happened anywhere else in the world. There's something very peculiar in the interpretation of what's gone on elsewhere that makes London like a laboratory."[3]
  • Billboard magazine reported that Londonbeat was under consideration for representing the UK in Eurovision 1995.[4]
  • The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits says the group is "based in England."[5]
  • In 2001, the Audio Engineering Society heard a presentation by Willy M, known for his work with "British pop/soul band Londonbeat and an accomplished musician with over 20 years of experience as an artist, songwriter, sound engineer, and record producer".[6]
  • In 1995, Billboard described Londonbeat as a "British dance/pop trio".[7]

Londonbeat were formed in London, which establishes the nationality of the group. They never re-located as a group to America. Binksternet (talk) 20:49, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
