Paul Young U.K. Soul Man
At the end of the day nothing in pop music matters much anyway except the lead singer of the Shangri-Las. But there’s a space where an opinion should be and they’re paying me to differentiate, so: In the greeting-card aesthetic of pop there’s still an occasional Hallmark. Among the women in fishbowls and buttocks in shorts and boys in dresses you can camp under. once in a while you’ll find a pop singer who's simpiy that.
