Bruce Willis - Under The Boardwalk (Motown)

Bruce Willis, oh yes, I loved "Respect Yourself", I'm a big fan! This is a really nice treatment, although as a singer I've already found a couple of things that grind, but it's still a lovely, sweaty, vocal sound. The B-side's an instrumental of "Respect Yourself", I'd be interested in that alright! I could see myself buying this, and I'd put it on in the evening and drink wine. I love the real strings, and it's surprisingly good for an actor. (Johnny Logan, No 1, May 30, 1987)

Immaculate Fools - Never Give Less Than Everything (A&M)

It's very David Bowie, very, who was it?... I've got brain death here ... "Heartbeat" ... ah, The Psychedelic Furs! I like the song, I like the idea of never giving less than everything and I like the cover. The Immaculate Fools haven't had a big hit yet have they? They really deserve to with this, but it probably won't be the way things run. I love this, it gets better as it goes on. Easily the best single. (Johnny Logan, No 1, May 30, 1987)

Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) (Arista)

I don't like the photograph on the cover. She's very beautiful, but so over made up. I don't like this song at all, it takes a real dive after the intro and it's even worse than Pepsi and Shirlie. It's so predictable I can sing the chorus before she gets to it, her A&R man should be taken out and strung up. Whitney's got a great voice, but it's so wasted on this kind of thing. The most disappointing single of the week. The worst actual song. (Johnny Logan, No 1, May 30, 1987)

No surprises here as the Great Whitney Houston announces her return from a long lay-off with her usual brilliant singing and a tune that is less immediately gripping than "How Will I Know" but which gets better with every play. Welcome back, ma'am! (Barry McIlheney, Smash Hits, May 20, 1987)

Club Nouveau - Jealousy (WEA)

Nothing at all like the smash "Lean On Me" but, funnily enough, very similar to a hit from last year, "Rumours", by the Timex Social Club. Which - zings! - is not too surprising when you learn that Jay King, the man behind Club Nouveau, was formerly the man behind Timex Social Club... The squabbling between the two camps appears to be carried on in "Jealousy" which sounds like a bit of a dig from Mr King at his old partners and all of this will no doubt become even more public when this follows "Lean On Me" into the flingaway charts. Gentlemen p-lease! (Barry McIlheney, Smash Hits, May 20, 1987)

An obviously American single, it sounds like a hit from the start. I love that Sly and Robbie single,it's got such an atmosphere although it took me two or three times to get into it. Club Nouveau aren't in the same class though. I'm sure they sampled exactly the same drums off the last one and stuck it in here. I can see this being big in the discotheques. I like going to the clubs myself especially if
there's Robert Palmer, Go West, or anything with a bit of meat playing. (Johnny Logan, No 1, May 30, 1987)
