Q Classic Song

Frankie Goes To Hollywood won the Classic Song Award at the Q Awards 2009 with Russian Standard Vodka.

The award was presented to Holly Johnson by Sophie Ellis Bextor.

"Is this the queer award?", Holly asked before recounting winning one award for the song before in the early 80s. "It was the Radio 1 listeners Award, only nobody could hear the song on the radio at the time." He then thanked his manager Wolfgang "for keeping me alive".

The announcement was made public last week, when Q Editor-In-Chief Paul Rees said:
"Determining what constitutes a classic song is a tricky beast, but staying power and instant recognition aren't bad yardsticks. Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax more than ticks both boxes - more than a quarter of a century it is undimmed and unforgettable. That it also defined its era is equally inarguable. As such, Q is delighted to give it the recognition it deserves."
