Some great songs on this !!!

First up we dive into the soul and R&B of the "naughties" with this debut album from 1991. Five singles Crazy, Future Love Paradise, The Beginning, Killer and Violet plus the sublime Whirlpool although not released as a single it is for me the standout track of the album showing just how great Seals voice is; reaching number 1 in the UK and selling double Platinum and Platinum in the US. Produced by the legendary Trevor Horn and on his famous ZTT label with string arrangements by the prolificly talented Anne Dudley (Art of Noise member and Oscar winner for the original score for the Full Monty. Other notable film scores: Buster, The Pope Must Die, Crying Game, Pushing Tin, Tristan & Isolade, Les Miserables plus many TV scores including Jeeves and Wooster, Kavanagh QC, Poldark, The Inspector Allen Mysteries etc,.)

Next up and the album that really put this British Prog Rock band firmly on the World stage. Thier tenth studio album and first to reach number one in the UK, giving us two UK singkes Turn it on Again and Duchess plus Misunderstanding in the US. More notably, however, is not the Platinum album sales in the UK and US but the fact this would be the last tour where dates were theatre venues as the next tour would not just be arena's but multiple dates at the same venue. Firmly establishing them as a major live band and of course starting the journey for Phil Collins to be one of only three artists to sell over 100 million albums as a band member and a solo artist along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...437f1352a9.jpg

Last up this classic album from 1968 by an artist whose interpretation of these songs makes them some of the great cover versions of all time. Whether it's his Grammy winning vocal on the Doors - Light My Fire or the sublime versions of the Gerry Marsden - Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying and the Beatles classic- Here There And Everywhere. Produced by Rick Jarrard and accompanied by some legendary musicians including Ray Brown, Milt Holland, Jim Horn and arranger George Tipton.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7d7d8edbea.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e8c29781c7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...61f5c6bf2c.jpg
