Mike & The Mechanics

Great band this. They were formed while Mike Rutherford was on hiatus from Genesis. The group had two singers and they were former Ace and Squeeze keyboardist Paul Carrack and the late Paul Young from Sad Cafe. My favourite songs are "All I Need Is A Miracle" and "Over My Shoulder."

I love Mike + the Mechanics. It's a shame they didn't hold on to American success when the 80s ended. My favourote song of theirs is "Everybody Gets A Second Chance".
