a voice to shame even good singers like [Boy] George and Alf, while those [Spandau] Ballet boys aren't even in the same league. Truly gorgeous white-boy soul, and a cover version Marvin Gaye would be proud of. Move over, Tracie, you're behind me in the queue . . . (Maureen Rice, No 1, June 4, 1983)
The best British white soul singer I've ever heard. The power and emotion in his voice makes me feel so sure! The song is a traditional blues/soul melody in '60s style but the instrumentation sounds a lot like Japan. A duet with Alf should come soon. (Gary Kemp [Spandau Ballet], Smash Hits,May 26, 1983)
The story so far ... In the process of avoiding the lecherous advances of Tracie, Paul (27) dashes into the studio to polish off a single. Unfortunately dodgy production and arrangement smother his ooh so soulful voice. Will Paul find the tune he so desperately needs? Will Tracie find the boy she longs for? Folks, keep those eyes posted for 'Young Love' magazine. (Jim Reid, Record Mirror, May 26, 1983)
