I always liked "Its Different for Girls". I also think he is under rated, maybe just forgotten about, mostly a late 70s and 80s artist. "Steppin Out" is probably his biggest hit,I haven't really heard from him since then, that I can think of....But all over the airwaves for a decade or so

I love the live performance of both “Cancer” and “Slow Song” from his double live album. Especially when he builds up with “Slow Song”. I read his liner notes about how Joe Jackson saw a young girl in the audience was crying and that he felt like crying after seeing her too, but held back.

Don’t forget “It’s Different For Girls”! 😈🌹😈
@beachgirl45832 жыл бұрын
Funny how that happens. Sometimes it’s deliberate (Eric Carmen’s “All By Myself” is stolen from a Rachmaninov concerto; he thought it was public domain, but got sued by the estate). More often, a melody pops into your head, and it could have been there since childhood, but you think it’s your own. Also, there are only a certain amount of chords. Some go well with other chords, so people will hear similar chord progressions in two or more songs. ETA: See Bill McClintock’s mashups. They’re an example of two very different song genres with similar chord progressions. Edit 2: The McClinton mashup of the Dan & Metallica’s Seek and Destroy is almost epic. What made it “almost” was his editing Kiss in near the end.
