Biography:
Prefab British dance-pop quintet Steps was assembled in 1997 from the thousands of applicants who responded to an advertisement placed in the magazine The Stage; in the wake of extensive auditions, singers Lisa Scott-Lee, Ian "H" Watkins, Claire Richards, Lee Latchford-Evans and Faye Tozer all made the final cut. Steps' debut single &"5-6-7-8" soon followed, falling just shy of the UK Top Ten and topping the charts in Belgium; a cover of Bananarama's &"Last Thing on My Mind" followed in the spring of 1998, reaching number six in Britain. &"One for Sorrow" was the group's biggest hit to date, and led to the release of their debut album Step One; their Christmas single, the double-sided &"Heartbeat"/&"Tragedy," became their first UK number one in early 1999. The smashes &"Love's Got a Hold of My Heart" and &"After the Love Has Gone" preceded Steps' sophomore LP, Steptacular. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
