'''The Korgis''' are an English pop band known mainly for their hit single "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" in 1980. The band was originally composed of singer/guitarist/keyboardist Andy Davis (born Andrew Cresswell-Davis 10 August 1949) and singer/bassist James Warren (born 25 August 1951), both former members of 1970s band Stackridge.<ref name="LarkinGE">{{cite book|title=The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music|editor=Colin Larkin|publisher=Guinness Publishing|date=1992|edition=First|isbn=0-85112-939-0|page=1401}}</ref>

==Career== The Korgis formed in 1978 when singer/guitarist/keyboardist Andy Davis and singer/bassist James Warren began writing songs and recording demos together.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/james-warren-stackridge-korgis/ |title=James Warren – Stackridge, The Korgis |work=The Strange Brew Podcast |date=26 December 2025 |access-date=28 December 2025}}</ref> They had known each other since the late 1960s and were both members of Stackridge from their formation in 1969. Warren left the band in 1973 and Davis remained with them until their split in 1976. After his departure from Stackridge, Warren took a break from the music industry before beginning to write songs again in 1977.<ref>{{cite AV media notes |title=DVD Kollection (Off the Leash documentary) |year=2005 |type=DVD |publisher=Angel Air Waves |id=NJPDVD622N |location=UK}}</ref>

In 1978, Warren sent Davis a demo tape of his own songs, along with a note inviting Davis to Bath so that they could work together in the recording studio. Davis liked the songs and agreed to form a new musical partnership with Warren, with the aim of writing commercial, radio-friendly material.<ref name="Dundee">{{cite news |last=Tatham |first=Dick |title=The Korgis recorded in kitchen studio |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000564/19790815/104/0008 |newspaper=The Courier & Advertiser |date=15 August 1979 |page=8 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=6 March 2026}}</ref> The duo wrote a number of songs together and began recording demos at Crescent Studios, which David Lord established in his top-floor flat in Camden Crescent.<ref name="Dundee"/> They subsequently decided to record their eponymous debut album between 1978 and 1979 at Crescent Studios.<ref name="Kollection">{{cite AV media notes |title=DVD Kollection (Extra Features: Band History) |year=2005 |first=Gavin |last=Mulhoney |type=DVD |publisher=Angel Air Waves |id=NJPDVD622N |location=UK}}</ref>

The duo released their first single "Young 'n' Russian" in February 1979 on the label Rialto Records,<ref>{{cite press release |title=The Korgis - Young 'n' Russian |publisher=Decca Press and Promotion |date=1979}}</ref> owned by their managers Nick Heath and Tim Heath.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=News: Rialto sets first 45s |magazine=Record Business |date=19 February 1979 |volume=1 |issue=48 |page=2 |issn=0144-0691}}</ref> Their next single, "If I Had You," was released in May 1979 and moved up to number 13 on the UK Singles Chart,<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Releases: Listings |magazine=Music Week |date=19 May 1979 |page=30 |issn=0265-1548 |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1979/Music-Week-1979-05-19.pdf |via=World Radio History |access-date=25 August 2024}}</ref><ref name= "British Hit Singles & Albums">{{cite book|first=David|last=Roberts|year=2006|title=British Hit Singles & Albums|edition=19th|publisher=Guinness World Records|location=London|isbn=1-904994-10-5|page=307}}</ref> followed by the release of their debut album in July 1979.<ref name="LarkinGE"/> The follow-up singles, a re-release of "Young 'n' Russian" in October 1979 and "I Just Can't Help It" in January 1980, failed to chart.

The Korgis expanded to a four-piece line-up with the joining of Phil Harrison (keyboards, percussion) and Stuart Gordon (acoustic guitar, violin), and quickly began working on their second album, ''Dumb Waiters'', with producer David Lord.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Etheridge |first=Dave |title=Getting back to sophisticated manners |magazine=Melody Maker |date=9 August 1980 |page=19 |issn=0025-9012}}</ref> As the album neared completion, Davis departed the band to pursue other musical ventures; he went on to join Slow Twitch Fibres.<ref name="Kollection"/> The lead single, "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime",<ref name="LarkinGE"/> was released in April 1980 and achieved international success, becoming a number one hit in three countries, France, Spain and Switzerland. It peaked at number 5 in the UK,<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums"/> 18 in the US and 11 in Australia, and was also a top ten in Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy. The release of ''Dumb Waiters'' followed in July 1980, reaching number 40 in the UK. The album spawned three further singles, "If It's Alright with You Baby", "Dumb Waiters" and "Rovers Return".<ref name="LarkinGE"/>

The Korgis recorded their third album, ''Sticky George'', as a trio, but then Gordon and Harrison departed the band after having disagreements with Warren.<ref name="Kollection"/> The lead single, "That Was My Big Mistake", was released under the name 'James Warren & the Korgis' in April 1981, followed by "All the Love in the World" in June 1981. ''Sticky George'' was released in July 1981,<ref>{{cite magazine |title=New Albums |magazine=Music & Video Week |date=11 July 1981 |page=27 |issn=0265-1548}}</ref> with a further single in September 1981, "Don't Say That It's Over". During this period, the band was augmented by numerous personnel for promotional duties, including guitarist John Baker, keyboardist Maggie Stewart and drummer Roy Dodds.

The following year the band was joined by flautist Steve Buck and was contemplating a Korgis Live show that ultimately failed to materialise; leading the band to dissolve and Warren to go solo in 1982. The single "Don't Look Back" was produced by Trevor Horn and issued under the Korgis name by London Records in August 1982.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Record News |magazine=New Musical Express |date=31 July 1982 |page=32 |issn=0028-6362}}</ref> In 1983, the Korgis briefly continued as a duo of Warren and his partner Maggie Stewart. They planned a British tour with the idea of using backing tapes rather than pay to hire additional musicians. The duo booked a concert at the Theatre Royal in Bath in November 1983, but then suffered a setback due to a dispute with the Musicians' Union. An agreement between the union and theatres banned the use of backing tapes in place of real musicians and, in order for the concert to take place at all, the Korgis were forced to perform for free, with all ticket purchasers refunded. The duo were then forced to cancel their planned British tour.<ref>{{cite news |last=Wessex |first=John |title=Union tape ban threatens to muzzle Korgis |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/876807238/ |newspaper=Bristol Evening Post |date=8 December 1983 |page=6 |via=Newspapers.com |url-access=subscription |access-date=8 March 2026}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Korgis tied up by tapes |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/908515541/ |newspaper=Western Daily Press |date=8 December 1983 |page=9 |via=Newspapers.com |url-access=subscription |access-date=8 March 2026}}</ref>

Warren and Davis reunited in 1985 to produce two new Korgis singles, "True Life Confessions" and "Burning Questions". In 1986, Warren released two solo singles, "They Don't Believe In Magic" and "It Won't Be the Same Old Place", followed by a solo album, ''Burning Questions'', and another single, "How Did You Know", in 1987.<ref name="LarkinGE"/><ref>{{cite magazine |title=New Albums |magazine=Music Week |date=31 January 1987 |page=26 |issn=0265-1548}}</ref> Davis released his own solo LP, ''Clevedon Pier'', in 1989.<ref>{{cite news |title=Clevedon Pier on record |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0003833/19891130/049/0049 |newspaper=Clevedon Mercury |date=30 November 1989 |page=49 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=17 February 2023}}</ref> That same year saw Warren and former Korgis member John Baker performing in Bath and Bristol areas as a duo called the Beat Brothers.<ref name="Kollection"/> Later in 1989, Warren and Davis reunited the Korgis after they were approached by the Bristol-based International Hostage Release Foundation, who were gathering artists for the recording of a charity album to raise money for their cause.<ref name="Western Daily Press 2">{{cite news |title=Old sound gets new backing |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0004974/19900810/007/0007 |newspaper=Western Daily Press |date=10 August 1990 |page=7 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=5 December 2024}}</ref><ref name="Western Daily Press">{{cite news |last=Pope |first=Steve |title=Korgi Andy snaps up Curt's offer |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0004974/19900103/015/0015 |newspaper=Western Daily Press |date=3 January 1990 |page=15 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=5 December 2024}}</ref> As they did not own the rights to the original 1980 recording,<ref name="This World's for Everyone">{{cite AV media notes |title=This World's for Everyone liner notes |others=The Korgis |year=2007 |type=CD |id=SJPCD244 |location=UK}}</ref> the duo re-recorded their 1980 hit "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" for the project,<ref name="Western Daily Press"/> which was released as a single in August 1990.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=New Singles |magazine=Music Week |date=11 August 1990 |page=27 |issn=0265-1548}}</ref>

That same year, the band planned their first ever live dates. Davis withdrew from the tour project after initial rehearsals, leaving Warren and Baker to recruit four new musicians to take on the road.<ref name="This World's for Everyone"/> The band performed a few shows, beginning with the Trinity Centre in Bristol on 24 November 1993,<ref>{{cite news |last=Munk |first=David |title=Korgis' gig on home ground |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0004769/19931124/013/0013 |newspaper=Bristol Evening Post |date=24 November 1993 |page=13 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=10 January 2026}}</ref> but they soon realised that a profitable tour was not going to be viable and ceased planning any further shows.<ref name="This World's for Everyone"/>

In late 1993, the Korgis recorded a version of the Mike Batt-penned song "Bright Eyes", originally performed by Art Garfunkel, in aid of the Bright Eyes Appeal. The appeal was launched by the parents of a six-year-old schoolboy who died in a road accident in 1992 and subsequently, as a donor card carrier, donated a cornea. The parents wanted to try and raise £8,000 towards promoting cornea donations and donor cards. The Korgis recording of "Bright Eyes", with a children's choir version on the B-side, was given a limited tape release in the Bristol area in 1994 to raise funds for the appeal.<ref>{{cite news |title='Bright Eyes' on tape for donor plea |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0004769/19931115/005/0005 |newspaper=Bristol Evening Post |date=15 November 1993 |page=5 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=10 January 2026}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Harbidge |first=Jane |title=Bright Eyes song tribute to Stewart, 6 |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0004769/19940329/017/0017 |newspaper=Bristol Evening Post |date=29 March 1994 |page=17 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=10 January 2026}}</ref>

In the mid-1990s, the trio decided to put the Korgis on hiatus.<ref name="Kollection"/> 1999 saw the three original Korgis albums being re-issued by Edsel Records, followed by the two-disc anthology ''Don't Look Back – The Very Best of The Korgis'' in 2003, issued by Sanctuary Records/Castle Communications. In 2001, the Korgis, again as a trio, began writing and recording new material with Lord returning as co-producer. Five of the tracks from around 2003 to 2004 were included on the 2005 release ''Kollection''.<ref name="Kollection"/> In 2005, the Korgis performed a fourteen-track set, which was filmed and recorded for release on ''Kollection'', as well as ''Unplugged'', which was released on the Angel Air record label the following year.

In 2006, the Korgis released their first single in thirteen years, "Something About the Beatles". This song acknowledges the influences of John Lennon in particular, which was very strong on "If I Had You" and "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" which capture the ethereal sounds of Lennon's early 1970s output. The band acknowledged John Lennon's influence in interviews at the time, shortly before his murder.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

Former member Stuart Gordon died on 28 August 2014 from lung cancer, aged 63.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thedeadrockstarsclub.com/2014b.html| title=The Dead Rock Stars Club : July – December 2014 |first=Doc |last=Rock |website=Thedeadrockstarsclub.com|access-date=1 September 2014}}</ref>

When Stackridge took a break from touring in 2014, Warren and Davis organised a tour of the UK in 2015 under the name of the Korgis, using exactly the same five-piece line-up as Stackridge. The re-formed Stackridge usually included some Korgis songs in their live set. Stackridge retired in 2017, and a recording of the farewell concert was released as ''The Final Bow''.

In 2017, Warren, encouraged by guitarist/arranger Al Steele, played some dates as James Warren and Friends. This included a Korgis set, and has led on to the first ever touring version of the Korgis - featuring James Warren. The first gig was at the Sunshine Festival in August 2018, and saw the return of John Baker plus Glenn Tommie from Stackridge (who also played on the original of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime"), and Al Steele from the 1990s touring band. During 2019, the band have played in Leeds, Shoreham, Bristol, and the 100 Club in London.

During the Covid lockdown in 2020, the Korgis began recording their first new album in close to 30 years. It was entitled ''Kartoon World'' and was released in 2021. The album had a common thread and was a return to the idea of a 'concept album'. In December 2021 the band played the new album in its entirety firstly in Abbotskerswell and then at the Rondo Theatre in Bath. Since then they have performed a string of dates combining old and new material. Reception of the album was unanimously positive with some parties calling it a "career high".

In 2021, the single "Bringing Back the Spirit of Love" reached No1 in Mike Read's Heritage Chart. Subsequent singles, "Always a Sunny Day" and "Lines" have also charted.{{cn|date=October 2023}}

In early 2022, the Korgis were asked to release an album for the Japanese market. This is called ''Kool Hits, Kuriosities & Kollaborations'' and features some unreleased songs and the single "Always a Sunny Day" co-written and performed by the Korgis & Joe Matera. It also features re-recorded versions of the classic hits, plus some alternative mixes of some tracks from 'Kartoon World'. This album was released in the UK later in the year.

In April 2023 the band launched a new show titled 'The Korgis Time Machine' which incorporated some cover songs that had been influences to the writers. This also saw a new streamlined line-up where John Baker took on the role of keyboards and backing vocal group Born to Win were replaced by Danielle Nicholls.

==Cover versions== {{unsourced|section|date=August 2023}} In September 2004, Zucchero and Vanessa Carlton entered the French charts, with their cover version of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" and had some success. That same year, Beck also covered the song for the Michel Gondry film ''Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind''. In 2003 it was included on Erasure's cover album ''Other People's Songs.''

Other cover versions of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" also took the song back into the UK Singles Chart over the years, including those by The Dream Academy (1987), Yazz (1994), Baby D (1995) and Army of Lovers (1995). Tracey Ullman and Rod Stewart have also covered "If I Had You".

In 2010, Sharon Corr, of The Corrs, released a version of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" on her solo album ''Dream of You''.

In 2011, Nicola Roberts included a version of the song on her debut album ''Cinderella's Eyes,'' released during the hiatus of pop band Girls Aloud.
