BILL SHARPE & GARY NUMAN - Change Your Mind - TOTP'S

[QUEENAHIDEKINGFISHER]

Better than Bowie!

[roslyn071167]

Love Tessa Niles in this, she has a fantastic voice and has backed many other greats including Bowie,Robbie Williams.

[RozWebster]

Gary exceptional as usual and love Tessa Niles voice

[crjdemte]

Numan,Sharpe,and Niles seem great together.

[london1280]

bill sharpe nearly as good as jean michael jarre

[jomaj3]

S F D E T O U R 1 9 9 1 . . DARK&SEXY!

[TheLemonKid01]

A rare moment of genius for Gary in a period where the backing vocals were too prevalent and melodies reeked of airwave desperation. Glad he found his ways again with Sacrifice though he seems to be in a drought since releasing Jagged.

[SPFXsynthesisers]

Answered my own question...Tessa Niles was well sexy.

[simonon977]

@SPFXsynthesisers gary numan is soo sexy too!!!! ♥♥

[SPFXsynthesisers]

@simonon977 Yes the all the girls liked him and some of the boys too :-)

[SPFXsynthesisers]

Class act.simple as that.Numan is awesome.

Is that Tessa Niles on vocals?

[richandiben]

I call fake!

In the video Bill only had 1 synth, lol

[Hammersmith80]

great track but Numan looks ridiculous in that get-up.

[chrisalison5]

this bloke is great.............

[andrewt008]

fuckin brilliant dance tune! this was the time of art of noise & paul Hardcastle in the charts as well & 7inch singles were £1.25 from Morrisons! aah memories!

[p6ulo]

I've got the album on vinyl....It's actually got some really good material on it.

[Nidgeynoo]

Shakatak not Shalamar!

[Nidgeynoo]

At least somebody got through the 32 preset barrier of the DX7 and learnt to program the fucker. Shakatak meets Tubeway Army! Nice.

[Sashthecat]

Fab!

.66.

[whereangelsplay1]

why oh why did he duet with a Shalamar band member? remove the hat and its the beserker look

[TheGodParticle]

Wow! i think garys look was a little dated even for 85. love the backing singer, forget her name. always remember her loads of times on totp during the mid-

8o's. great post thanks

[clarencethecrosseyed]

She`s Tessa Niles. Sang for everybody and their dog....

[TheGodParticle]

cheers, always liked her, think i even saw her on live aid, maybe bryan ferry, long time ago... thanks again...

[Ilikenuman]

so what album would i find this on?

[Joriini]

Bill Sharpe's Famous people. Tho they say the album version is not the same (worse) as the single version..?

[clanmac66]

AWESOME!!!

[TonMaison]

Phoque moi. The live version. God this is awesome.

[Ilikenuman]

what year was this?

[industrial82]

1984

[DJimGilroy]

This was Feb 1985

[TheHarrier1970]

@industrial82 Feb 1985

[roslyn071167]

@industrial82

The year was 1985 best times

[eddietheturdburglar]

@Ilikenuman Actually Feb `85

[fortieschic]

i love this song....i dont think its that cringe worthy..very catchy..im a big numan fan since 79

[Ilikenuman]

tessa is hot as hell.

great song funkytastic!

[p6ulo]

Don't this this...it's 80's pop funk at its best....so of it's time, and Bill Sharpe is (arguably) Britains best keyboard player...This is superb...enjoy!

[dreamyyak]

Yes, he's excellent, but to my mind the greatest English keyboardist is another Bill, Billy Currie of Ultravox?

[matelot95]

@dreamyyak ...who played on a lot of Gary's early stuff.

[dreamyyak]

@matelot95 Absolutely true........



[thetiktokman]

great catchy tune! very 80s! LOVE IT! good for sex. I know.

[crazier1]

rovercats,are you on drugs???? how can you say it went downhill,numan in my eyes as got better and better each and every year (apart from machine & soul) but where all aloud to make mistakes,i love this song and though the automatic album was brill,sounds to me like your one of those fans who like to moan all the time,go away and support westlife you tosser

[JarrodCook93]

Do you actually have the automatic album? if so could you email to to me or Burn me a CD and send it? please?

[MaxRenn]

What a pity Tessa kept in the background so much...

A class lady with a class voice to match.

Smokin'!!!

[rovercats]

this bassline is laughable!! gary must look at himself and cringe!! im a gazza fan 78-1980 it went downhill fast

[BlazeBayley]

Not that bad a song but the image is showing its age!

[friendcalledfive]

Cracking song!!..Oh how i miss my white suite and make-up!!...

[stuart38]

the only thing that spoilt this was the choice to wear that hat.fuck was,nt 85 a great year for original music.

[Ilikenuman]

it looked awful didnt it. i liked the iceman look, but i dont know why the iceman decided to wear a suit and bow tie and hat suddenly..

[AnalogX64]

Might have to do a remix of this track. :)

[vularen1]

brill track got in 2 him around then still love him .the vid ios great

[stuart38]

tessa niles looked fuckin great then.the clothes were exactly the fashion,too.

[BAYCITYROLLERBOY]

BRILLIANT!

[cavhoki]

love this song, wish I knew where to find a copy of it

[grantkelley1]

have you tried i tunes they have it!

[Biscom]

Gary looks great in all that white gear!!!

[JUNEBRIDGIE]

cool......brought back great memories

[lisaemberton]

Great old footage! Thanx.Have on Vhs. Coxynuma.66.

[Kammler03]

Despite everything,-this one,was a really good pop-song ...

THANX FOR SHARING !!!

[JulzRoxYourSox]

okay, it sounds like he's lip-syncing to a backing track.

is that what's happening?

i don't really care, just curious.

[foodafokkarez]

Recently I got hold of Bill's solo album as I was curious to know the version on it and it was a bit shite(Ryhtm on it was completely naff).This single version is the best for me.

[davethecrow]

shit

[NoLie6]

Well I think the image is dicussable:-) But who never made mistakes in the past? But afterall his voice here is absolutely brilliant.

[DerVampyrEngel]

The image is cool one of his best NoLie6

[Brownies79]

I agree...he's really never sounded better, to be honest. The Pleasure Principle and this track showcase his best vocals.

[chelseamoody]

Well underated!

[martin3801]

isn't that one those girls from pepsi and shirlie in a cooler phase?

[sneakyalien]

Whatever happened to Tessa Niles? She was amazing I loved her vocals She had such a cool voice.

I hope she is still singing.

And she was sexy,I thought she was hot in the beserker video dancing and singing at the back of the stage in a tight white top.

Change your mind is a great song and is a great example of what we have lost with modern shite that is out now,now characters,crap songs and over produced crap.

[mixrbear]

well said...this is still one of my favorite cds!

WAY underrated!

[thesmilingassassin87]

tessa niles wasn't the singer on the berserker tour, that was Karen Taylor.

[Ilikenuman]

this wasnt berserker though. it was a similar look but not berserker.

[mntmind]

Oh how this takes me back, going to have to rummage the atic to find the 12inch version.

[michaelclarke18]

great stuff!

[posttronics]

I love this song - it's great! I think the backing singer also sang for Go West in the 80's.

[vuetube]

I love Numan, and especially this track which was a Club and Alternative radio hit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the music dead on the same as the commercial track? Lip sync anyone? Sounds cool, though.

[sakura256]

ok. just wanted to know who she was.

[sakura256]

who is that woman singing

[industrial82]

Tessa Niles

[Biscom]

Gaz looks great in that weird white suit. Love the song too

[Omidion]

Love the album Berserker but the image was a big mistake. The hat just adds insult to injury! bless you gaz! :)

[Brownies79]

I think he was going through his second hair transplant.
