Century (band)

For the American metalcore band, see Century (US band).

Century are a French rock band formed in Marseille in 1985. Led by singer and composer Jean-Louis Milford, Century are probably best known for their single "Lover Why" from the album And... Soul It Goes in 1986. In Brazil, the tracks "Gone with the Winner" was theme from the soap opera called Hipertensão, and "Lover Why" was theme from the soap opera called Ti Ti Ti, both in 1986, by the Rede Globo TV.

Their hit "Lover why" peaked at #1 (x7) in France^[1] and Portugal and #11 in Switzerland. Their second single, "Jane" reached only to number 35 in France.

The band was composed of Jean-Louis Milford (keyboards), Éric Traissard (guitar), Laurent Cokelaere (bass), Christian Portes (drums) and a second guitarist replaced with Jean-Dominique Sallaberry. The lyrics of early successes of the group were all written by Paul Ives. The band split off in 1989^[2]. However, the composer/singer, Jean-Louis Milford teamed up with lyricist Francis Nugent Dixon, and since 1989, they have worked together. After several unsuccessful albums, they produced a double CD in 2004 (Timeless). For current information concerning Century, refer to http://apology-music.com/
