A British band from the turn of the decade, best remembered for their ballad 'Maybe I'm Amazed.'
For the full Jem experience, start with 'Maybe I'm Amazed' and then try 'And So I Pray.' That gives you the hit and a deeper cut from the same era.
Jem gave Chris Farlowe a late-70s vehicle for that big, soulful voice, and they landed a genuine hit with it. 'Maybe I'm Amazed' is the song that stuck, a ballad that stayed in their setlists. Beyond that, tracks like 'Crazy' and 'Falling For You' filled out a solid, if contained, rock and pop catalog from that brief period.
They formed in the late 1970s with a lineup that included Farlowe, guitarist Mick Ralphs, and keyboardist Peter Bardens. They released albums like 'The Final Cut' in 1980 and 'Down to Earth' in 1981 before winding down, navigating some legal issues with a former manager along the way.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
