Written by Daryl Hall and first appearing on the Hall and Oates 1980 album voices- this was Paul Young’s second Top 40 hit in the US- in all he would have 9 Billboard Hot 100 hits with 5 making the Top 40. Some trivia to tell your friends- who was the first person singing in the charity hit by Band Aid- ‘Do They Know Its Christmas?”- the answer Paul Young.

I adored Paul Young. I feel so fortunate to have seen him play at the Warfield in the early 1980s.
Didn’t realize this was a H&O tune. Young gives it just the right amount of angst when he sings it.
I like Young’s version better.
Paul Young is a talented vocalist who did various great covers in the ’80s. Unfortunately, he has pretty much disappeared thereafter.
He was more successful in the UK in the 80’s- than in the US- but in looking that has even dried up- his last album was in 2015.
