I do what I do - John Taylor

John Taylor is best known as a member of Duran Duran, but through the years he has also released some solo work. His first solo release was for the soundtrack of the movie 9½ weeks in January 1986. 

The song was written by Jonathan Elias, Michael Des Barres and John Taylor, after Des Barres was approached about writing a song for the movie's soundtrack. It was originally intended to be sung by Lisa Dalbello, but she bowed out at the last minute and John decided he could do the song instead. Still Dalbello does backing vocals.
