MIDGE URE -a great voice.

"If I Was" by Midge Ure is a poignant exploration of empathy, aspiration, and the desire to make a meaningful difference in the life of another. The song's synth-pop sound, combined with its introspective lyrics, creates a memorable and emotionally resonant listening experience.

Great song!!! "Reap The Wild Wind" in his Ultra-Vox days comes to mind with that synth sound...... seemed to have that "Morrisey" type vibe.........

@@teesmith945 I also love thin wall “ but he just has a really powerful voice , I’d kind of forgot just how prevalent he was in the charts and the music scene then 😎

Highlight of Live Aid was George Thorogood introducing "The Master of The Telecaster" Albert Collins (on the US part of the shindig). Madison Blues I think was the song but it got Albert a wider audience.
