The Beat
had split by 1983. Cox and Steele with Roland Gift formed the hugely
successful Fine Young Cannibals. Wakeling and Ranking Roger formed General Public. There are now
two versions of The Beat with Wakeling fronting the English Beat (which is
what they were always referred to) in the US and Roger and Morton the UK
based version.
