Dexys Midnight Runners (currently called Dexys) are an English pop group 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 went No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.

Dexys' second album Too-Rye-Ay recorded with a new lineup, reflected Rowland's passion at the time for Celtic-influenced folk music allied to a rock beat. However it failed to replicate the success of its predecessors and Dexys Midnight Runners disbanded in 1987. Rowland pursued a solo path for sixteen years, recording the albums The Wanderer and My Beauty. In the spring of 2003 he announced a new six-piece incarnation of the group, with the name shortened to simply Dexys. Fans had to wait until 2012 before Dexys released their fourth album, One Day I'm Going to Soar. Rowland told us that the reason for the long delay was they didn't feel ready until then.

Dexys Midnight Runners are best known in America as one of new wave's ultimate one-hit wonders, thanks to their 1982 number one smash "Come on Eileen," a distinctive fusion of '80s pop, Celtic folk, and blue-eyed soul. however, they earned a fair amount of critical acclaim and made a greater impression on the public consciousness with their frequent changes in sound, wardrobe, and personnel. Rowland took Dexys to New York to work on the follow-up album, which - slowed by his perfectionism - took a year and a half to record. In the meantime, EMI released the singles compilation Geno in 1983. The new line-up began playing live shows and contributed two new songs ("Manhood" and "My Life in England") to the greatest-hits collection Let's Make This Precious.
