Now here’s a pop confection from 1984 that still tastes delicious.
Carmel never hit big in the United States but they scored a couple of big UK hits, this being one of them. Carmel McCourt was Amy Winehouse before Amy Winehouse, dishing up a sixties R&B revival that reminded listeners why some genres of music remain timeless. Listen for yourself:
The band is still out there, touring Europe and making new music. You can visit them here: http://www.carmelofficialmusic.com.
As for this 12″ single, I can’t even find a copy for sale. My guess is that if you stumble across it you won’t pay more than a couple of bucks. Happy hunting.

Why It Matters 
That is a tasty treat. As I’ve mentioned on my own blog, I grew up listening to the sounds of the 50’s and 60’s (among other music). After hearing this song, I did a little digging and found their catalog on iTunes. By the way, listen to their cover of “Track of My Tears.”

I don’t remember this song, but I do remember the renaissance of innocent, enthusiastic music in the early 80s. Nice track!
