On this day: February 10, 1988

Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose, but on February 10, 1988, Holly Johnson, the lead singer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood won in a big way. Johnson was being sued for apparently breaking his contract with record label ZTT (Zang Tumb Tumm).

The British High Court ruled in Johnson's favor that ZTT was unreasonable, and nonsensical. Soon after the decision Johnson signed with MCA records. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, ZTT was also ordered to pay Johnson's court costs, an estimated $500,000.Talk about relax!
