When Jamie sings like this he reminds me of the great Donny Hathaway who could also make anything sound soulful

Jack Hagelin rest in peace my brother. For you youngsters, Ray Charles changed the face of popular music by mixing church gospel with down town, late night blues practically inventing R&B. He was the first person to own his own music + lyrics (previously the label owned your ass) and he inspired ...

The Bee Gees pretty much invented Disco and they wrote all the songs and played most of the instruments as well as singing. love them or hate them, you cannot say they did not make an impact on popular music. Personally I think they are very under rated by many... as big as the Beetles in their o...

I agree, never mind 'Clapton is God', Paul is God blessed and one of the best things to come out of the 60's... a Northerner to boot. Even John Shuttleworth loves him (Sheffield rules!! except in football.... its Leeds Leeds Leeds!)

Thanks for posting - very good and Paul wont mind at all - its ...

The thing with a guy like Paul or Mike McDonald (an American version of Paul in many respects) is that they have been there and have the T shirt - part of big bands, solo, covered by others and so they are kind of relaxed. A couple of years ago Mike was at the Grammy's as a presenter, and someone...

Great post for the fans... many thanks. Share the joy.

Saw him in Batley, West Yorkshire in 2010 before emigrating (yes I miss England) this was our treat before we left, my wife and I. His brother (John) walked past at one stage checking out the audience and I nearly fell over (same hair and beard LOL). The gig was very personal but then he makes it...

Shame this was not on the Different Hat album since he had an orchestra / jazz thing on that also. The guy is very versatile - can sing his own songs 3 different ways and they all sound good.

Mike Rutherford written all over this - from the first bar it was either him or Genesis. Still, Paul gives it a soulful heart and by 1.50 he has made the song his own. Sign of a great singer. Combined they both get a (second) career boost - awesome. Just missing the great Paul Young, another stel...

Cool.... I have met Paul and he is a nice guy. Hope your experience was good.

And if you even doubted the guys credentials check out the live acoustic version here:

just Paul and a guitar in his jeans (and he is actually a keyboard player not a guitarist)..... his voice smokes this one. I think Gerry would be pretty proud that a fellow No...

Yes I agree, but support the artiste, buy the record and go see the band. Paul Carrack is one of a rare breed these days, a guy who has paid his dues and now has the character and bravery to make his own music irrespective of what is 'current' or 'pop'. This whole album is evidence of this, celeb...

Great but Stuart should stick to his drum kit - he is a shite singer - Mark King on bass walks all over him and should have been lead vocal... dont know what they were thinking. Where was Sting anyway? Its like getting Ringo without the Beatles :)

Believe it or not I was once in a music shop in Leeds in the early 80's and Mark King walked in, quiet as anything, picked up a bass guitar and started playing this song. My best friend was a bass player, that's why were there looking at a Fender bass and he was like... gobsmacked, speechless. Ma...

@capitalismforme - and Albert did not originally like this fact and accused Stevie of stealing his licks (on one live recording I have and he aint messin'). B.B. King (allegedly) took Albert on one side and explained that what SRV was actually doing was telling everyone who would listen to him th...

Mark King is a God! Back in the day, the 80's, we Northern boys all thought he was the best Bass player in the world. Sure you had people like Marcus Miller and Pino Palidino who were funky but no one touched Mark for depth and character... most of the rhythms on Level 42 songs come from the bass...
