While browsing through past entries on this blog, I realised that I had not yet posted this track, which I've always thought of a counterpart to John Miles's 'Music', though it was actually released 6 years later!
F.R. David (born Elli Robert Fitoussi in Tunisia) is a French singer who had been a member of a number of psych and rock bands throughout the 60s and 70s and had worked at one point with Vangelis. 'Words', released in 1982, was his only major hit reaching No. 2 in the UK, apparently beating out a version recorded by The Tremeloes.
Bonus Clips: The Tremeloes version...
... and, of course, one of the follow-up to 'Words' was a track called 'Music' (though not the same as the John Miles song)!
