The band also had UK hits from the studio albums Wha'ppen? (1981) and Special Beat Service (1982).
Wakeling then formed General Public with Ranking Roger in 1983, and they released their debut studio album All the Rage the next year.
In 1984, Wakeling with Ranking Roger sang backing vocals on the song "Free Nelson Mandela" by the Special A.K.A. They also provided backing vocals on the Madness studio album Keep Moving, singing on the tracks "Waltz into Mischief" and "Victoria Gardens".
In 1985, Wakeling announced in a press interview with Mother Jones magazine that he was bisexual.
Produced by Mark Goldenberg (tracks 1–9) and Steve Levine ("She's Having a Baby")
He also recorded two other studio albums with General Public, Hand to Mouth (1986) and Rub It Better (1995), shortly after which the band disbanded.

Throughout his career, Wakeling has mainly used a left-handed Vox Teardrop guitar, the Vox Mark III.
He was initially drawn to this guitar as his favourite artist and guitarist Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones used one.
"I wanted to be him and I used to play my cricket bat or my tennis racket and pretend it was a teardrop in the mirror when my mom had gone out shopping. I even bought a blond wig from a second-hand shop and I cut it out into a bob. As soon as I heard the front door I would think "Great, she’s gone". I would take out the wig, the cricket bat and play in front of the mirror."
