The Style Council were an English band,
formed in 1983 by the ex-The Jam singer and guitarist
Paul Weller, with keyboardist Mick Talbot. The permanent line-up grew to include drummer
Steve White and Weller's then-wife,
vocalist Dee C. Lee. Other artists such as Tracie Young and Tracey Thorn (Everything
but the Girl) also collaborated with the group. As with Weller's previous band, most of this
London based outfit's hits were in their homeland, although the band did score six top 40 hits in
Australia, and seven top 40 hits in New Zealand.
