You should have heard of this, Neil, as it got to number 6 in the pop parade.

Time for American Girl to take its place in the calendar. Appropriately given the prelude in Black and White
"No, the one thing that makes this record rock is Steele himself:
"We-hell.. a-never felt…m’re like singin’ the blues… cos I never thought Ivrlose… yr love… dear…"
...that’s really how he sings: like the last old man crawling out the pub. He’s slurring. He goes quiet, then loud, then quick, then slow. He sounds snotty, and bratty. He starts off sounding quite posh and proper but ends the lines dripping in insincerity. He sounds like he’s taking the p**s. You can picture him sneering and gyrating. It’s a world away from previous British male chart-toppers like David Whitfield, even Dickie Valentine. I don’t think it’s too much of a leap to say he sounds like a cross between David Bowie and Johnny Rotten.
