Boys Don't Cry were a British studio band known for the hit single "I Wanna Be a Cowboy", which peaked at #12 on the Hot 100 in 1986 and charted around the world. They are considered a one-hit wonder, though they released an EP, two albums and several singles.
The group released their debut EP Don't Talk to Strangers on independent UK label Legacy Records in Britain in 1983. The band consisted of Lead vocalist and Keyboardist Nick Richards and keyboardist Brian Chatton, along with Jeff Seopardi on drums, Nico Ramsden on guitar, and Mark Smith on bass. Chatton had previously had a brief stint on keyboards with 1970s progressive band Jackson Heights, contributing heavily to their Ragamuffin's Fool LP.
