Mike + The Mechanics – All I Need Is A Miracle (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“All I Need Is a Miracle” is a pop rock song performed by Mike + The Mechanics. Written by guitarist Mike Rutherford and producer Christopher Neil, it was first included on their 1985 self-titled debut album, and later released as a single, where it reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986.

“All I Need Is a Miracle” was the second single released by Mike + The Mechanics, following “Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)”, which also reached the top ten. “All I Need Is a Miracle” featured lead vocals by former Sad Café vocalist Paul Young. It is the only US Top 10 hit from the band to feature Young on lead vocals; the band’s third (and as of 2010, last) Top 10 hit was 1989’s “The Living Years”, which featured Paul Carrack on lead vocals.

In 1996, a new version of the song, titled “All I Need Is a Miracle ’96”, was included on their greatest hits package Hits.
