As the vocaliser for a-ha, Morten Harket was considered as just now another '80s MTV pretty boy. Born in Kongserbg, Norway, on September 14, 1959, Harket lettered how to wager piano at the age of four; raised on classic music, Harket was unmindful to stone and pop artists until he was 16. Harket primitively wanted to become a priest; however, when he joined the rock radical Bridges, he had to drop by the wayside his theological studies to find out time for his band. In 1983, Harket formed a-ha with Magne Furuholmen (keyboards, harmonica, vocals) and Paal Waaktaar (bass, guitar, piano, vocals). When a-ha released the television for "Hire On Me" in America in 1985, critics tossed darts at Harket's pin-up looks, dismissing him as a Simon Le Bon knockoff. However, a-ha's debut album Hunting High and Low was much more diverse than "Lease On Me" suggested, and Harket spilled his pain with a high falsetto over a bed of acoustic guitars and electronics long earlier Thom Yorke of Radiohead reaped awards and pt albums for doing it. Harket's stunning vocals finally acquired critical acclaim with a-ha's second base album, Scoundrel Days, in 1986. In 1987, Harket's voice could be heard in the James Bond hazard The Living Daylights; a-ha peformed the film's theme song. In addition to his work with a-ha, Harket has recorded tercet solo albums, Poetenes Evangelium, Wild Seed, and Vogts Villa. In 2000, Harket's haunting vocal work on a-ha's Minor Earth Major Sky mesmerised critics, drawing comparisons to Neil Young, the Verve, and R.E.M.
