Biography Climie Fisher

Climie Fisher
Climie Fisher was a UK pop duo formed by vocalist Simon Climie (born 7 April 1960) and former Naked Eyes keyboardist Rob Fisher (5 November 1956 - 25 August 1999).

Career

The duo is best known for the 1987 hit single "Love Changes (Everything)" which reached Number 2 in the UK (on re-release) & Number 23 in the U.S. in 1988. The hip hop-styled remix of "Rise To The Occasion" had also previously reached Number 10 in the UK singles chart.

Rob Fisher died on 25 August 1999 during surgery for bowel cancer, whilst Simon Climie became a producer for recording artists such as Louise and MN8, as well as co-writer and musician on many of the more recent albums by Eric Clapton.

Half Man Half Biscuit recorded a song entitled "The Ballad of Climie Fisher", which recounts an entirely concocted tale of a feud between Climie and Fisher. It appears on their album Trouble Over Bridgwater.
