During the course of this year I aim to upload a song every day for your consideration as to whether they were good enough and sufficiently commercial to have become UK Top 20 singles. Many different genres will be represented, so if this particular one’s not your preferred style then hopefully it won’t be too long before you find one that is.
For those songs that are interesting enough for you to give them a proper listen, please press “like” if you think it could have been a hit, and “dislike” if you don’t, in the hope that we get enough votes to obtain a balanced overview. Also, if leaving a critical comment please try to take into account the year of original release - most of the songs that I'll be uploading are decades old so it wouldn’t be surprising if some sound dated now.
Today’s choice is There Is No Reward by Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin. Technically it’s credited to Dave Stewart as he takes lead vocals on this one, but with Ms Gaskin on b/v it’s still the pair of them in my book. Despite having such a negative title, this track was a beacon of hope for me as it highlighted Dave Stewart’s writing ability and should have set him on the road to independence, without the duo having to be tagged as “covers artists”. It’s a great wee song, unnecessarily relegated to the B-side of “What Became Of The Broken Hearted” in my view, as it could have held its own as a follow-up A-side..
Hopefully you’ll drop by again tomorrow for something completely different!
