Boogie Box High was an English pop musical project headed by Andros Georgiou in the late 1980s that featured a range of collaborators, including George Michael, guitarist Nick Heyward (of Haircut One Hundred), keyboardist Mick Talbot (of the Style Council), guitarist–songwriter David Austin, bassist Deon Estus, and others.

Overview

Boogie Box High's first single was a cover version of "Jive Talkin", originally a top ten hit for the Bee Gees in 1975, featuring Michael on lead vocals. Released in June 1987, the cover reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. Once again, Michael was not credited for any of this.
