Dexys Midnight Runners (currently called
Dexys) are an
English pop band with
soul influences, who achieved their major success in the early to mid-1980s. They are best known for their songs "
Come On Eileen" and "
Geno", both of which peaked at No. 1 on the
UK Singles Chart, as well as six other top-20 singles. However in the U.S., due to lackluster promotion, Dexys' only hit was "Come On Eileen", which gave the band an undeserved image as "
one-hit wonders".
