About

Ph.D. were a British duo best known for their UK top 10 hit "I Won't Let You Down" in April 1982, which had been a hit the previous year throughout Europe.

The band was a duo, but it took its name from the initial letters of the surnames of the three performers on the group's original recordings: Phillips, Hymas and Diamond. Though drummer Simon Phillips appears on a number of the band's tracks as a session player, he was not an official member of Ph.D., which consisted of keyboard player Tony Hymas and vocalist Jim Diamond.

Ph.D. est un groupe de musique britannique, connu notamment pour son tube I Won't Let You Down, qui a atteint le UK Top 10 en avril 1982, bien que la chanson ait déjà connu un certain succès l'année précédente dans le reste de l'Europe[réf. nécessaire].

Le nom du groupe, Ph.D., réunit les initiales de ses trois membres fondateurs, à savoir Simon Phillips, Tony Hymas et Jim Diamond. Le nom est aussi un clin d'œil au titre correspondant au diplôme de docteur (Philosophiæ Doctor, abrégé en Ph.D.) au Royaume-Uni.
