Cola Boy was a duo with Andrew Midgley and vocalist Janey Lee Grace. Midgley had previously worked with St Etienne and Grace had been a backing singer for the likes of Wham! and Eight Wonder and was also a radio broadcaser on LBC. They had success with "7 ways to love". The interesting story is that the original white label release, Sarah Cracknell sang the vocals but because for contractual reasons, the record label would not permit her to be on releases outside of St Etienne (she was lead vocalist), it had to be re-recorded and that is where Janey took over.

What happened next?
Unfortunately the follow-up single "He is Cola" bombed and because they only had a two-single deal with the label, contract was not renewed and thy disbanded
