The Beloved - Alternative meaning heavy metal music group Beloved.
The Beloved is an electronic music group. In 1983, Jon Marsh placed an advert in the music press which read as follows: "I am Jon Marsh, founder member of the Beloved. Should you too wish to do something gorgeous, meet me in exactly three year's time at exactly 11am in Diana's Diner, or site thereof, Covent Garden, London, WC2." At the meeting in 1986, Cambridge graduate Steve Waddington was present and the two formed the core of the group. The band hit its stride with a fusion of psychedelic club music with more conventional pop in 1988, when its single "The Sun Rising" became a club favourite. This was followed by the album Happiness in 1990, from which the hit single "Hello" was released. By 1993, Waddington left the group and was replaced by Jon Marsh's wife Helena for the album Conscience. The band faced some controversy for the video of the single "Sweet Harmony" which consisted of a naked Marsh among a group of women, also naked (although it was shot and edited so as not to show anything which might cause it to be censored). By this time the project had dropped the definite article from its name and was now simply called Beloved. Beloved singles continue to be remixed and the band has not been formally wound up, but Jon Marsh now concentrates on his flourishing career as a club dj. Beloved, The
