In 1983, he recorded his debut album 'I don't speak the language'. The single 'Break my stride', which was taken from this album, became a number 5 hit in America, while it peaked at number 4 in the UK and number 3 in the Netherlands.
I had a friend who was always asking for this song when I made mixtapes for him in the early Nineties. I didn't have this single, so I could never oblige. I only bought this single in 2001, by that time I'd stopped making tapes for him. I hope he reads it now - if it gets through the Big Chinese Firewall, that is.
