Paul Young Vinyl Records
One of the great British blue-eyed soul singers of his era, Paul Young came to fame during the heyday of new wave and MTV and sustained his career in the decades that followed by returning to his R&B roots. His expansive taste and keen ear for songwriting is evident in his pair of number one hits: a moody, mournful version of Marvin Gaye's "Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)" that topped the U.K. charts in 1983 and a pleading cover of Daryl Hall & John Oates' "Everytime You Go Away" that reached the pole position in America in 1985.
