Answer:
baltimora was an italian musical group active in the mid to late 1980s .jimmy mcshane , of derry , northern ireland , was the frontman of baltimora .some sources state lead vocals were performed by maurizio bassi -lrb- with jimmy actually providing the backing vocals -rrb- , including lead vocals on their biggest hit `` tarzan boy '' despite the fact that mcshane lip-synched while appearing in the `` tarzan boy '' music video and not bassi , who was also baltimora 's keyboardist although this remains uncertain .both the music and the lyrics of baltimora were written mostly by bassi and naimy hackett , though mcshane wrote the lyrics to some of their songs , such as the single `` survivor in love '' .baltimora is often considered a one-hit wonder in the united kingdom and the united states due to the success they experienced with `` tarzan boy '' compared to their other singles .in other european countries such as italy , the group had more success .
