One-hit wonder Thomas Dolby

Thomas Dolby, whose birth name is Thomas Robertson, is a high-tech Brit whose techno hit was She Blinded Me With Science, big in the U.S. in 2002. The stage name Dolby was borrowed from Dolby Labs, a company that sued unsuccessfully to prevent him from using the name. The song's title came from the seemingly limitless supply of Brit figures of speech, this one meaning to confuse people with complexity.

Although Dolby still performs occasionally, his main business has been in the production of cell phone ring tones as well as films and video games.
