MM: Thanks for the clarification. There was some good music that came out of that Black/British Soul mini-movement of the 80s. Do you remember Junior's follow-up to "Mama Used To Say"? It was called "Too Late".
Malcolm,
I knew Junior had another song, but I couldn't for the life of me recall the title thanks for reminding me.
