  • Paul Melvyn Carrack (born 22 April 1951) is an English singer, songwriter and musician who has recorded as both a solo artist and as a member of several popular bands. The BBC dubbed Carrack %22The Man with the Golden Voice%22, and described him as %22something of a national treasure%22. William Pinfold of Record Collector remarked: %22If vocal talent equalled financial success, Paul Carrack would be a bigger name than legends such as Phil Collins or Elton John.%22Carrack arose to prominence in the mid-1970s as the frontman and principal songwriter of Ace, and gained further recognition for his work as a solo artist and for his tenures as a member of Roxy Music, Squeeze and Roger Waters' backing group, The Bleeding Heart Band, intermittently handling lead vocals on Squeeze and Waters recordings. From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, he enjoyed considerable success as the co-frontman (with Paul Young) and a songwriter for Mike + The Mechanics; following Young's death in 2000, Carrack served as the band's sole lead vocalist until his departure in 2004. He maintains an active solo career to the present day.Carrack sang some of his affiliated bands' best-known hits, including Ace's %22How Long?%22; Squeeze's %22Tempted%22; and Mike + The Mechanics' %22Silent Running%22, %22The Living Years%22 and %22Over My Shoulder%22. He also performed lead vocals on tracks from the Roger Waters albums Radio K.A.O.S. and The Wall – Live in Berlin, and achieved a major solo hit with %22Don't Shed a Tear%22. Carrack's songs have been recorded by artists such as the Eagles, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, Michael McDonald and Jools Holland, and he has served as a session and/or touring musician for the likes of Elton John, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, B.B. King, The Pretenders and The Smiths.
