William Pitt – City Lights (1986)

YouTube – Spotify – Apple – Discogs

When I listen to Chris Rea’s ‘Josephine‘ and William Pitt’s ‘City Lights’, I am transported to what I can only assume is a Balearic open air club in 1986. Pitt’s narration on the latter reminds me of Vincent Price’s turn on Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, which makes the song even more kitsch. The British, U.S.-born singer-songwriter lived in Paris during the 1980s, where he was discovered by music producer Pascal Wüthrich. Wüthrich a trouvé un one-hit wonder.
