Another great, obscure song, that I thought only I remembered. Love these posts of rare & hard to find 12” singles!
Very happy with this post. We now have all his three 12 inches in Paulity. Thanks Paul, so appreciated!
You’re welcome Stefano 🙂
That´s such a great song. I prefer it to Kids American by far but it did not get any airplay whatsoever over here back then. It failed to chart, needless to say.
The chorus is almost perfect, it just gets into your ears and dancing feet. The rest of the song could have been produced in a better way. Shame, really. It should have been a hit record.
I think I prefer it over Kid’s American too. Sadly this song did not do much only #58 in the USA. Luckily Matthew went on to produce some great music for other artists 🙂
Wow Paul! What a fantastic way to start the week! I love Matthew Wilder and in particular this single. I´m so happy to get these rare remixes in pristine quality.
Thanks a million Paul. You are and will always be my HERO.
You are most welcome Daniel I love Matthew Wilder too and this song is a real gem 🙂
Paul, I live for these kinds of things. I really only know Mr. from “Break My Stride” and the other single you introduced me to. But I feel it’s very important to be exposed to an artist’s discography because, well, you never know. It may be a new song to add to a favorites list. I’ll have to check out the music video as well. I always scratch my head over songs that may make it or not. My tastes are very different and for all the songs I LOVE, so many do not like. I’m hoping to really like… Read more »
I hope you end up liking it, Jeff. 🙂
