Agree with all that, especially the BIB's. The emotive and often fragile qualities of his voice (particularly in terms of whether he was going to hit the right note or not!) are what appealed to me at the time and for years he was by far and away my favourite singer. I still rate him high, but I'd rather hear Marc's voice of the 1980's over anything from the early 90's onwards anyday.
He did take and benefit from singing lessons from quite an early period, I think he started them around the 1984 period when Soft Cell disbanded. His voice was best for during the mid '80's where he patently sang better than he had previously and yet there was still an occasional 'vulnerable' type quality to it. Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVskg4lXOU4 That for me is an example of Marc Almond at his very best. Good song too, originally recorded by Cher back in the 1960's and released by Marc as a single in 1986. Sadly it just failed to make the top 40, peaking at No. 41 during a 5 week run. |

Gollum seems to be jigging along next to The Vance there.

The Stranglers and The Jam. Both had their debuts back in early 1977. Seems a while ago already since we saw those editions.

Great opener. There's a photo of me as a toddler holding this single in front of our old record player knocking about somewhere.

Looking for early signs of madness in Siobahn's eyes.

The Banana's look in need of a make over.
Good start, always quite liked this. |

Had Banararama had a top 40 hit of their own before that one?

I remember my dad liking Golden Brown and thinking of buying the album - he was 55 at the time!

I've NEVER been able to sing along to Golden Brown in the right key. Or any particular key for that matter.

Golden Brown's another 'Vienna' for me. Mass appeal but not to myself.

The trouble with Golden Brown is that the song's over fairly quickly, leaving a long fade-out.
