Oh, one correction! Paul Carrack is actually the lead singer, he also went off on his own temporary solo career between this band's albums; one in 1985, and another in 1988.
Mike and The Mechanics really should be more well-known

A band formed in the mid-80s when Phil Collins broke off and decided to go on a solo career. There self-titled debut album made it big on the charts with two hit singles: "All I Need Is A Miracle" and "Silent Running." However, it was there 1988 album "The Living Years" that featured the smash hit title track. They are a combination of 80s Pop and Progressive/Arena Rock. Lead singer is Mike Rutherford.
