Tight Fit is tagged as: pop, 80s, british, synth pop, electronic Tight Fit were a British pop group who had a number of hits in the early 1980s, including a UK number 1 (for three weeks) with their cover version of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” in 1982. The group had two completely different line-ups - the first (a group of session singers) in 1981 and a male/female trio in 1982. In 1981, record producer Ken Gold came up with the idea to record a single made up of a medley of 60s songs. The medley trend was in full swing at this time, following the success of Starsound and their Stars on 45 singles. He put together a group of male/female session singers and released “Back to the 60s” under the title Tight Fit. The song became a hit in the Summer and reached No.4 in the UK Charts. A follow-up, “Back to the 60s Part 2” was released soon after and also hit the UK top 40. Later in the year record producer Tim Friese-Greene recorded the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” with another group of session singers. The song was released in early 1982 again under the title Tight Fit. The song gained instant attention and so a group was formed to front it. Dancer, singer and male model Steve Grant was teamed up with female singers Denise Gyngell and Julie Harris. The song reached No.1 in the UK for three weeks ...
