1987's One Good Reason featured "Don't Shed a Tear" and set the template for much of his solo career, 2003's It Ain't Over gave him plenty of room to show off his skills as a singer, composer, and instrumentalist, and 2010's A Different Hat was an ambitious project with the vocalist accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Despite this, Carrack maintained an active solo career, releasing a steady stream of albums since the mid-'90s that put the spotlight on his soulful vocal style and expert keyboard work, whether performing his own R&B-influenced pop material or rock and pop classics penned by others. A vocalist and keyboardist who enjoyed considerable success over the course of a lengthy career while in the service of bands ranging from Ace to Squeeze to Mike + the Mechanics, his finest work often came at the expense of his own identity as a performer indeed, of the many big hits on which the singer was prominently featured, only one, 1987's "Don't Shed a Tear," bore his own name. Paul Carrack was pop music's ultimate journeyman.
