Take That are a boy band that originated in Manchester, England in 1990 consisting of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald. Between the band's first single release ("Do What U Like/Promises") in 1991 and their cataclysmic breakup in 1996 when Robbie Williams left the band to pursue a solo career in 1995, the BBC described Take That as "the most successful British band since the Beatles, beloved of young and old alike."
