Good pick up, Jon, and it's a yes, on both counts. From the early 70s until the early millennium Paul Carrack was successfully involved in the music industry...that's quite a feat when you consider how many pop princesses and boy bands have rapidly come and gone in that time.
This song is from the 70s but it's still a great summer party song, and especially appropriate today where in Tasmania I nearly got burnt to a crisp...2 days before summer officially starts!
