About

British pop trio from the 80's.

Created in 1981 by producer Ken Gold to record a single, "Back to the 60s" which reached No.4 in the UK Singles Chart. Instead of the sessions singers who sang on the record, actors and singers were hired to front the group. Later in 1981, producer Tim Friese-Greene recorded "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with another group of session singers. This was released in early 1982, again under the name Tight Fit. A new group was formed to front it consisting of dancer, singer and model Steve Grant and was female singers Denise Gyngell and Julie Harris. The song reached No.1 in the UK for three weeks in March 1982.

Further releases and line-up changes followed to less success and the group split.

In 2008, members Denise Gyngell and Julie Harris reformed Tight Fit as a touring band and Grant returned permanently in 2010. On 2 June 2015 the band announced that they had released a new album called "Together". On the band's website it is stated that Steve Grant, Denise Gyngell and Julie Harris hold the trademark to the name Tight Fit in relation to all music and publishing.
