Paul Johnson - When Love Comes Calling (CBS)

This is the first single by a man who's made quite a reputation for himself as a British gospel singer. It's a lighthearted piece of soppy soul that bounces along in a most catchy manner and I've an inkling it may do rather well. Most pleasant. (William Shaw, Smash Hits, January 14, 1987)

I don't know anything about this bloke (he comes from Croydon and the single's produced by Junior Giscombe). He's got a good voice but the song doesn't go anywhere. It's too midtempo and there's not enough of a hook. I've listened to this twice and I still can't remember how it goes. It'll probably be a minor hit, around the 40s but it won't get into the Top Ten. (Lee MacDonald, No 1, February 21, 1987)
