Don't shed a tear - Paul Carrack

Paul Carrack was born on April 22, 1951 in Sheffield, England. He's been a member of Squeeze, Mike & the Mechanics and Roxy Music, but he's also had a successful solo career. 'Don't shed a tear' was one of them. It could be described, if nothing else, as a radio hit. It was played almost continually in 1987.

Despite this, it didn't become his biggest hit: it stalled at number 60 in the UK, whereas in the Netherlands it only made number 21.
