OK now this is kind of a rarity, an FM broadcast from Paul Carrack's first recording outfit Ace. Ace of course had a pretty big hit with the Paul Carrack written and sung "How Long". The song hit #3 in The USA, #3 in Canada and #20 in The UK. The song is still played by Paul on his solo tours. The song is also still in play on the so called "Classic Rock" radio stations. Their second and last charting single was 1975's "Time For Another" hit #71 in The USA failing to chart any where else. The band folded in 1977. Paul Carrack, Terry Comer and Fran Byrne spent some time with Frankie Miller's band. Paul Carrack also spent some time in Roxy Music before moving on to Squeeze. While in Squeeze, Carrack sang lead vocal on the bands single "Tempted" which hit Billboards Mainstream Rock Charts at #8. The bands biggest USA hit single. Paul of course went on to sing for Mike Rutherford's Mike & The Mechanics, where the hits continued. Paul Carrack still enjoys a successful solo career playing all those hits and more.

ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Alex! I'm glad you're enjoying the Ace show. I was pretty surprised to find it myself. I am a big fan of Paul Carrack, I love the mans voice, so much soul. Anyway I was more than pleased by having a show with a great live version of "How Long". Enjoy the tunes!
