Kandidate was a British soul band consisting of Ferdi Morris (bass and backing vocals), Teeroy Morris (keyboards and lead vocals), St Lloyd Phillips (drums), Alex Bruce (percussion), Phil Fearon (lead guitar and backing vocals), Bob Collins (guitar/percussion/vocals), and Jascha Tambimuttu (rhythm guitar and backing vocals).
Its best position came with "I Don't Wanna Lose You", boosted by its use on the soundtrack of the film Sunburn.
[4] In 1981, after a hiatus to allow the members to concentrate on songwriting,[5] the band left RAK for Polydor Records,[6] and released two further singles, neither of which charted.
The band's proposed debut album, Positives, mentioned on the sleeve of the "I Want To Be Yours" single, was shelved when the group split up following these two failures.
