The Anglican (High Church) parish of St. Philip's, Norbury has a long choral tradition. Their first non-traditional commercial work was in 1984, when the boys of the St. Philip's Choir backed Sal Solo on his song "San Damiano". In 1987, the boys of St. Philip's Choir released the single, "Sing Forever". In 1988, the choir released the single "Adoramus". In 1988, the choir released their first full commercial album, "Sing For Ever" under the name St. Philip's Choir. The title track for this album was chosen by the BBC as the first Children in Need telethon anthem.
