Paul Young - Every Time You Go Away (CBS)

The introduction sounds like the theme to Eastenders. Very meaningful lyrics and a nice melody. Paul's obvious ability is in singing ballads (this was originally by Hall & Oates) and this is another classic example. (Marshall O'Leary, Smash Hits, March 14, 1985)

This has got to go down as my favourite. Paul Young has got to be the best British white male singer. This has got everything; a great song, powerful production and he's a talented performer. I'm so glad to hear Paul's having singing lessons for his breath control after his vocal problems last year because he has a marvellous voice and I, for one, would be sad not to hear it again. This record got me on the first listening. Single Of The Week. (Hazell Dean, Record Mirror, March 2, 1985)
