During the course of this year I aim to upload a song every day for your consideration as to whether they were good enough and sufficiently commercial to have become UK Top 20 singles. Many different genres will be represented, so if this particular one’s not your preferred style then hopefully it won’t be too long before you find one that is.
For those songs that are interesting enough for you to give them a proper listen, please press “like” if you think it could have been a hit, and “dislike” if you don’t, in the hope that we get enough votes to obtain a balanced overview. Also, if leaving a critical comment please try to take into account the year of original release - most of the songs that I'll be uploading are decades old so it wouldn’t be surprising if some sound dated now.
Today’s choice is the single mix of Walk Through The Fire by Peter Gabriel which was co-produced by him with Nile Rodgers in 1984. The original version appeared on the “Against All Odds” soundtrack, but this mix is more punchy and was better suited for radio airplay.
Peter Gabriel was a chart regular throughout the 80s, but for some re3ason this one didn’t have the necessary appeal at that time to go any higher in the UK than no. 69 (perhaps due to the lack of any video?), but with such a progressive sound it surely deserved a much better outcome than that.
Hopefully you’ll drop by again tomorrow for something completely different!
