Giant Steps was a dance pop duo from England that consisted of vocalist Colin "Col" Campsie and bassist/keyboardist George McFarlane. They previously recorded as The Quick.

Giant Steps' only album, "Book of Pride", was released in 1988, and the single, "Another Lover," from the album became a huge hit in America, peaking at #13 in the Billboard Hot 100.The same song was aired on Italian radios in 1988 quite frequently, and was featured in the 1989 film "Loverboy". The follow-up single, "Into You" was a modest U.S. chart success, reaching the top 50 in early 1989.

In 2006, Campsie became infamous for writing the Kandy Floss record and was mistakenly credited as being a famous member of Go West by Mr Holy Moly in Metro's 25 February edition.
