You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Climie Fisher''' were a British pop [[duet (music)|duo]] formed by vocalist [[Simon Climie]] and former [[Naked Eyes]] keyboardist [[Rob Fisher (British musician)|Rob Fisher]]. In 1987–88, they had two international hit singles: "[[Rise to the Occasion (Climie Fisher song)|Rise to the Occasion]]" and "[[Love Changes (Everything)]]".

==Career==
Simon Climie and Rob Fisher met at [[Abbey Road Studios]], where they were both performing as [[session musician]]s.<ref name=AMBio>((cite web|last=Sutton|first=Michael|title=Biography of Climie Fisher|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/climie-fisher-p16546/biography |publisher= AllMusic|accessdate=7 July 2011))</ref>  The duo is best known for the 1987 [[hit song|hit single]] "[[Love Changes (Everything)]]" which won an [[Ivor Novello Award]].<ref>((cite news|last=Lister|first=David|title=Pop Ballads Bite Back| url= https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/pop-ballads-bite-back-in-lyrical-fashion-david-lister-charts-a-sea-change-away-from-rap-towards-memorable-melodies-1438995.html| work= [[The Independent]] |access-date=26 October 2016|location=London|date=28 May 1994))</ref><ref>((cite web|last=Climie|first=Simon|title=Simon Climie Pocket Bio|url=http://www.simonclimiesongs.com/biog/biog.pdf|work=Simon Climie Songs))</ref> It reached number 67 in the UK<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">((cite book| first= David| last= Roberts| year= 2006

The [[hip hop music|hip hop-styled]] remix of "[[Rise to the Occasion (Climie Fisher song)|Rise to the Occasion]]" was originally conceived as a niche dance version by remixers [[Phil Harding (producer)|Phil Harding]] and Ian Curnow, but was chosen by the band's record company as the main single mix.<ref name=":0">((Cite web|title=A Journey Through Stock Aitken Waterman: Ep 20: A Detour With Harding & Curnow Part 1 on Apple Podcasts|url=https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ep-20-a-detour-with-harding-curnow-part-1/id1565879477?i=1000547341447 |access-date=12 January 2022|website= podcasts.apple.com |language=en-AU))</ref> "The style of it comes from a rap track," explained Harding. "We never thought the record company would put it out as the main record — we never really found out what Climie Fisher thought of their main version being ditched."<ref name=":0" /> The track reached number 10 in the [[UK Singles Chart]],<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums" /> and later reached number 1 in South Africa, number 6 in Belgium, number 14 in Germany, number 17 in Sweden and number 19 in Austria. 

Their last major hit single was "Love Like a River" in 1989, which reached number 18 in Austria, number 22 in the UK<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums" /> and number 54 in Germany. They wrote most of their own material together with [[Dennis Morgan (songwriter)|Dennis Morgan]], who Climie had previously worked with; and hired [[Steve Lillywhite]] and [[Stephen Hague]] as producers.<ref name="AMBio" /> Although their first album ''[[Everything (Climie Fisher album)|Everything]]'' charted in both the UK (number 14) and US (number 120), their second album ''[[Coming In for the Kill]]'' (UK number 35) was less successful and they split up shortly after its release.<ref name="AMBio" />   

Fisher later co-wrote [[Rick Astley]]'s song "[[Cry for Help]]" (UK Singles Chart number 7 in 1991). He also contributed as songwriter to Astley's albums ''[[Free (Rick Astley album)|Free]]'' (1991) and ''[[Body & Soul (Rick Astley album)|Body & Soul]]'' (1993). Fisher died on 25 August 1999 during surgery for [[bowel cancer]].

Climie had, before the success of Climie Fisher, co-written (with Dennis Morgan) the [[George Michael]]/[[Aretha Franklin]] single "[[I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)]]" in 1986. He worked as a producer for recording artists such as [[Louise Redknapp|Louise]], [[MN8]] and [[Five Star]] and as a co-songwriter and musician for [[Eric Clapton]], including the album with [[J. J. Cale]] (featuring [[Derek Trucks]] and [[Billy Preston]]), ''[[The Road to Escondido]]''. Climie released a solo album and single, both titled "Soul Inspiration" in 1992. He also worked with former [[Doobie Brothers]] member [[Michael McDonald (musician)|Michael McDonald]] on his [[Motown Records|Motown]] albums. He produced the 2009 album ''[[The Distance (Taylor Hicks album)|The Distance]]'' by [[Taylor Hicks]] an ''[[American Idol]]'' winner.

==In popular culture==
The folk pastiche ''Ballad of Climie Fisher'' by the band [[Half Man Half Biscuit]] on their album ''[[Trouble Over Bridgwater]]'' is a fictional tale of what happened to the pair post break-up.
