Roxette

Roxette are a Swedish pop rock duo, consisting of Marie Fredriksson (vocals) and Per Gessle (vocals and guitar). Formed in 1986, the duo became an international act in the late 1980s, when they released their breakthrough album Look Sharp!. Their third album Joyride, which was released in 1991, became just as successful as its predecessor. Roxette went on to achieve nineteen UK Top 40 hits and several US Hot 100 hits, including four US number-ones with "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love", and "Joyride". Other hits include "Dangerous", "Fading Like a Flower", "Dressed for Success" and "The Centre of the Heart".

Before coming together to form the duo, Fredriksson and Gessle were already established artists in Sweden, with Fredriksson releasing a number of solo albums and Gessle being the lead singer and songwriter of Gyllene Tider, which had three No. 1 albums. On the advice of the managing director of their record label, they came together to record "Neverending Love", which became a hit single in Sweden.

Roxette (song)

"Roxette" is a song by the band Dr. Feelgood. Recorded in 1974, it was Dr. Feelgood's debut single, and appeared on their debut album, Down by the Jetty.

Release

"Roxette" was issued as a single in the UK in November 1974. It failed to reach the UK Singles Chart. It was written by Wilko Johnson and produced by Vic Maile. The b-side of the record was a cover of "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66".

Later, in September 1976, a live recording of the song was issued by the band as a single, with a live recording of "Keep It Out Of Sight" on the b-side. The live recording of the track also appeared on Dr. Feelgood's 1976 live album, Stupidity.

"Roxette" was also later included in Dr. Feelgood's 1997's compilation album, Twenty Five Years of Dr. Feelgood.

Johnson re-recorded the song with Norman Watt-Roy for his 2013 album, Faith and Grace, performing it live on a few occasions on Watt-Roy's tour in October 2013.
