I can still remember the first time I saw Paul Carrack. It was on Top Of The Pops way back in 1974 singing How Long with his band Ace. It was their only hit but it has become something of a radio classic, the type of song that makes you stop whatever you’re doing and just listen. Once How Long faded from the charts, Paul Carrack pretty much disappeared from view as well until he popped up fronting Squeeze’s 1981 hit Tempted, another song that has the power to stop me in my tracks when it turns up on the radio. Carrack would carry on making the occasional appearance in the charts, most regularly with Mike and The Mechanics. Between times, he’s been quietly plowing a blue-eyed soul furrow, releasing solo albums and co-writing a song that would appear on the Eagles multi-million selling album Hell Freezes Over.
