Today we upload this rare video of Talk Talk with lead singer and composer Mark Hollis, to honour and commemorate his unfortunate death today exactly two years ago on February 25, 2019. Mark David Hollis (4 January 1955 – 25 February 2019) was an English musician and singer-songwriter. He achieved commercial success and critical acclaim in the 1980s and 1990s as the co-founder, lead singer and principal songwriter of the band Talk Talk. Hollis wrote or co-wrote most of Talk Talk’s music—including hits like “It’s My Life“ and “Life’s What You Make It“—and in later works developed an experimental, contemplative style. ’Give It Up’ was the third single (after ’Life’s What You Make It’ and ’Living In Another Worrld’) from the succesful album ’The Colour Of Spring’ (1986) Talk Talk were an English rock band formed in 1981, led by Mark Hollis (vocals, guitar, piano), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass). They had successes with the synth-pop singles “It’s My Life“ and “Such a Shame“ (both 1984) and ’Life’s What You Make It (1985). Later they moved on to make more experimental music in the mid-1980s, with music that became known as post-rock. This rare Toppop performance was first broadcast by Toppop on 6 June 1986.
