Despite having a successful solo career as a cult artist, vocalist Peter Murphy remains best known as the lead vocalist for Bauhaus, the pioneering post-punk goth rock band of the early '80s. After disbanding Bauhaus in 1983, Murphy formed Dali's Car with former Japan member Mick Karn.before beginning a solo career with a cover of Magazine's "The Light Pours Out of Me," which was featured on a 1985 Beggars Banquet compilation called "The State of Things." In 1986, he released his first full-fledged solo album, "Should the World Fail to Fall Apart," which featured a number of guest artists, including former Bauhaus member Daniel Ash. Two years later, Murphy released his second solo album, "Love Hysteria." With 1990's "Deep," Murphy had a surprise hit — the first single from the record, the Bowie-esque "Cuts You Up," became the American modern rock hit of the year, spending seven weeks at the top of the U.S. charts and crossing over to AOR radio and the pop charts, where it peaked at number 55. Following its success, Deep reached number 44 on the album charts, and1992's "Holy Smoke," had the number two modern rock hit "The Sweetest Drop."
