The Kane Gang - Closest Thing To Heaven (Kitchenware)

This isn't bad. Actually, it's a good song. Like The Detroit Emeralds which must make it Single Of The Fortnight. It seduces you more and more as the song builds. Ironically, the last single I review is the best. The first twenty seconds show no hint of what's to come. It has that magic that the Lionel Richie pile doesn't come near. Smooth as silk. The only record I'd go out and buy. (John Taylor [Duran Duran], Smash Hits, June 21, 1984)
