Number 90: Black - Wonderful Life
Black - basically Colin Vearncombe and a rotating collection of backing musicians - formed in 1981 and enjoyed only moderate success until their 1986 album Wonderful Life. The title track cracked the top 10 in multiple countries worldwide, and catapulted Vearncombe to international stardom. He went on to score several more hits, and remained a fixture on the British music scene until his untimely death in early 2016. I have "Wonderful Life" at #90 on this list.
Toughest thing about the Wonderful Life album ... deciding which songs make the list ... Love this song....then there's 'Roses', 'Memories' and prolly my fave, 'Finder'

ReplyDelete"Everything's Coming Up Roses" is a great song. Almost put it on the Top 200.
