"Beware I bear more grudges, then lonely high court judges" (1994) 2. "From an uptown apartment, to a knife on the A train" (1991) 3. "How Long? How long must we sing this song?" (1983) 4.

"So far, so good, so close, yet still so far" (1983) 8. "Then I could win my own, small, battle of the sexes" (1980)
April 14, 200619 yr I will guess that one of the singers on the track has passed away. I base this on number 4, which has Kirsty MacColl on it!

April 14, 200619 yr Author is it they have all been produced by Steve Lillywhite? Is the correct answer. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
April 14, 200619 yr Author Steve Lillywhite was married to the late Kirsty MacColl with whom they had two children. As a producer Steve Lillywhite produced a lot of UK #1 albums starting with Peter Gabriel's 3rd album in 1980 and won a grammy in 2005 for producing U2's How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. But can anyone name the first UK #1 hit single which he produced 22 years later (in 2002)?
April 14, 200619 yr Author He never produced a no.1 single in 2002. He did as part of a foursome under the pseudonym "The Misfits" with Pete Glenister; Deni Lew & the artist in question.
