The story
Blue was a British pop/rock group formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1973 by Timmy Donald (b. 1946, Bristol, Avon, England) (drums), Ian MacMillan (b. 1947, Paisley, Strathclyde, Scotland) (bass, guitar, vocal), and Hugh Nicholson (b. 1949, Rutherglen, Strathclyde, Scotland) (guitar, vocal, keyboard). Signed to Elton John's Rocket Records label (he also produced them), they released their selftitled debut album in 1973, then added Robert "Smiggy" Smith (b. 1946, Kiel, Germany) on guitar for their second album, Life in the Navy.
They were then reorganized, with MacMillan and Nicholson remaining and adding Charlie Smith (drums) and David Nicholson (guitar). This lineup scored a U.S. singles chart entry and U.K. Top 40 hit with Gonna Capture Your Heart, and recorded the third album, Another Night Time Flight (1977), and the fourth album, Fool's Party (1979), after which Blue broke up. They reunited in 1983, and are still active.
