It's time for #2 in my Favorite "Time" Songs series, and it's a good one: "Time (Clock of the Heart)" by Culture Club.
Fronted by charismatic vocalist Boy George, Culture Club formed in London in 1981, and, despite a couple hiatuses, are still going strong. The band has both a Grammy and a Brit Award under their belts. They have, according to Wikipedia, sold over 150 million records worldwide.
From their 1982 album Kissing to be Clever, "Time (Clock of the Heart)" was an international hit, reaching #1 in multiple countries, and charting at #3 in the UK, and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is certified Gold in both the United States and Canada.
As far as I'm concerned, this tune features some of Boy George's finest vocal work, right there with "The Crying Game" and "No Clause 28."
Man, does he have a pretty voice or what?

Another 80s classic. Boy George was made fun of because of his dress and appearance but he is a very underrated singer.

I've always liked his singing. Too bad some people couldn't get past the image, because he's really good.

I agree, he has a great voice. I also agree with others that his talent was pretty much ignored at the expense of the "persona."
