M

:(This page covers the career of English musician Robin Scott, also known as M. For the former controller of BBC Radio One, see Robin Scott(2).)
M was English musician Robin Scott's brief but very successful new wave/synthpop project in the late 1970s and early 1980s. M is most known for the 1979 hit "Pop Muzik", which reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1979, and No. 1 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart on 3 November 1979. Musicians who contributed to M at one time or another included Wally Badarou, Mark King, Phil Gould and Gary Barnacle of Level 42. Scott first used the pseudonym M in 1978, when he released the single "Moderne Man". His next single, "Pop Muzik," featured Scott's brother Julian on bass, his wife Brigit Novik on backing vocals, and Wally Badarou on keyboards.
==Links To Peel==
Long before M, Robin Scott began his career as an acoustic singer-songwriter and did a session for Night Ride on 23 April 1969, although it was the only one he did for a Peel show.
Peel first played M's debut single Moderne Man in 1978, and would also play his successful hit, Pop Muzik. The albums New York - London - Paris - Munich and The Official Secrets Act by M were later found in Peel's Record Collection: M.
