Colin Campsie (born 1957) is a British born singer and songwriter.

A former member of 1980s pop bands The Quick and Giant Steps, Campsie was also closely involved with, but was not a member of, the pop band Go West.

Lately, Campsie has turned his talents to songwriting, including the Chantelle Houghton 'song' "I Want It Right Now" (originally slated for Kylie Minogue) via the spoof group Kandy Floss. He has also written tracks for Natalie Imbruglia ("Don't You Think?" and "Wishing I Was There" on Imbruglia's debut album Left of the Middle), and the Top 10 hit by Hepburn "I Quit".

[edit] Personal life

After meeting backstage at a Tears for Fears concert, Campsie married singer Beverley Craven, and the couple have three daughters. Campsie and Craven used to own the top and bottom flats in a three-storey house in London. When the person in the middle moved out, they bought the flat and converted the building back into one house ^[1] The family now lives in Buckinghamshire.
