We will never know the real story, but from what I have read about him, my humble guess is that he did not sign the record deal because of what the record company tried to turn him into a teeny bopper, bubble gum pop idol, and this man's heritage of musical genius just would not allow it!
What a good man. His success was real. Not like Jason Donovan. He was seduced by PWL, because of Kylie's hit. I wish he kept his dream to be rock star. When JD started to sing some serious songs, the people disliked him. Actually #27 was not bad, considered he was a bubblegum puppet before. The ironic thing is both of them got Nik Kershaw's songs. This guy took the chart crown from JD and Kylie, as the host said on TOTP The One and Only.
I wonder if the words to this song does not give us a glimpse of exactly why he was a one-hit-wonder?! The song is all about not compromising and walking with dignity and pride, something that is sadly lacking in the music industry today!

Why are you people crying about a "solo"? The band isn't even playing, or singing. they are props. This is just a short karaoke version for the show.
