WAS's Awesome New Wave Song Of The Week #24: Black - Everything's Coming Up Roses

The legendary Black captured the #90 spot on Marc’s Top 200 with the title song of his smooth 1987 “Wonderful Life” LP.   An international hit that is played everywhere (even on Cadbury commercials!), it’s a magnificent song.  Little known fact - it's being sung from a point of irony, not appreciation!   More obvious irony comes across in this weeks awesome song, “Everything Is Coming Up Roses” - the second track off the LP.   The strangely timeless and un-cheesy-for-the-80s video is awesome too.  

“Roses" was the first song I ever heard from Black and it immediately made me a big fan.  The entire “Wonderful Life” album is superb, but if I had to pick a favorite track right now it would probably be “Finder”….

But then again …. “Just Making Memories" is really growing on me….. 

Let’s get our Black on !
