The lead singer is the amazing Paul Carrack! Where he went hit songs followed. Four bands four top hits. I will get my facts and be back for more details. Great choice Stan! Edit: I found the hits, not all #1 but top hits. Carrack sang some of his affiliated bands' best-known hits, including Ace's "How Long" (1975); Squeeze's "Tempted" (1981); and Mike + The Mechanics' "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)" (1985), "The Living Years" (1988) and "Over My Shoulder" (1995) In 1981 I saw Paul Carrack when he teamed up with Rockpile (Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds) for a concert. Rockpile disbanded later that year. That show was one hit after another among all of them. Amazing is a word I like to use for this match up. Joe
We ALL loved this song when it came out because it was as SMOOTH as can be for what the song is about...The person who is like a specialist at The Cleveland Clinic when it comes to being smooth of course is Karen Carpenter....

This song is about the lead singer learning that the bass player was also secretly playing for another band other than Ace.

Paul (the voice) Carrick. He’s voice is one of the best around. I see these live back in the 70’s they were backing YES.
Fantastic song Stan❤❤
Paul Carrack was the lead singer For "Mike and the Mechanics".
Stan, you may remember Mike and the mechanic's, the lead singer here is the same guy.
I never realized it, but one look is all it took that you are indeed correct.
