Helen Terry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Helen Terry (born May 25, 1956) is a British singer, probably best known for her backing work with Culture Club, as well as her Aretha Franklin-like voice. She had a solo career as well, and scored a UK Top 40 hit in 1985 with "Love Lies Lost". Terry is distantly related to late 19th and early 20th century actress Dame Ellen Terry, who was the aunt of the late actor Sir John Gielgud.
Terry sang on several albums recorded by Culture Club, and remained friends with lead singer Boy George after he first left the band. However, his autobiography Take It Like A Man indicates they had a falling-out in connection with their mutual run-ins with the law regarding the use of illicit drugs.
Helen Terry has stopped singing professionally, and now concentrates her efforts on film-making and production. She currently lives in Scotland, and has not been associated in any of Culture Club's recent ventures.
