Englishman
Paul Carrack has possessed one of the most familiar voices in pop music since the 1970s. His soulful performances can be heard on hits by Ace ("How Long"),
Mike + the Mechanics ("The Living Years," "Silent Running"), and
Squeeze (the '80s classic "Tempted").
Carrack has also scored as a solo artist with the hits "Don't Shed a Tear" and "I Live By the Groove." With
Satisfy My Soul (2000),
Carrack has crafted another collection of melodic pop songs. Though some of the material is weak, his distinctive vocal gifts make even the most mediocre song worth hearing.
