Giant Steps was a pop duo from England that consisted of vocalist/producer Colin Campsie and bassist/keyboardist/producer George McFarlane. They had previously recorded as the Quick.
Giant Steps' only album, The Book of Pride, was released in 1988, and its first single "Another Lover" became a hit in the United States, peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] It became very popular in Italy in 1988 as well, garnering considerable airplay on pop radio.[citation needed] It was subsequently featured over the opening credits of the 1989 film Loverboy, starring Patrick Dempsey.
Giant Steps' follow-up single "Into You" was a modest US chart success, reaching No. 58 in early 1989.[2]
In 2006, Campsie became infamous for writing the Kandy Floss record, and was mistakenly credited as being a member of Go West by Mr. Holy Moly in Metro's 25 February edition.
