Proud to say...My Cousin Carol Kenyon. Another amazing singer that never got the props she deserved.

[@sallymowafy5852]

hey, shaun, Carol was amazing with Paul Hardcastle too, infact Hardastle even attributed most of his success of the 1986 hit " Dont waste my time" to Carol, she is an amazing performer. James x

thats right. Thats when we had labels with great A&R. Spilled a little into the 90s... then the web fucked it up. Next time folks decry poor music - its your fault. stay off the streamers.

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Heaven 17 and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

Not long after this came out my parents took my brother and I (aged 12 and 13) for a pub lunch one Saturday in Primrose Hill, London. Glenn Gregory walked into the pub about half way through and I don't think I've ever been more star struck. In my memory he was wearing a floor-length black coat but maybe I've embellished the memory over time.
