Why did Paul Carrack sing Tempted?
He explained in a Songfacts interview: “‘Tempted’ was written in a cab on the way to Heathrow, I just wrote down what I saw and how I felt as we wormed our way through the traffic. I also must have anticipated a good time on tour as the chorus suggests.” Paul Carrack sang lead on this.

Was Peter Gabriel in Mike and the Mechanics?
Evidently, the Mechanics served a demand. In 1985 and 1986, a whole lot of Genesis-affiliated acts all scored big hits: Genesis itself, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, and GTR, the band led by former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett.
