Can anyone help my son identify this song please? It's Warren Harry/Bacall on guitar and backing vocals, but that's all we know...

Wow, LOVE that track! I'll do my best to help you track down the artist, but it doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard before.

Glad you like it. Warren Harry (aka Warren Bacall) was very underrated.

A small update. My son contacted Warren's widow, and she confirmed the name of the song is "You Were The Drug" and Warren wrote it. However, she didn't tell us who the singer was, or who the song was credited to when released (if it ever WAS released).

Hoping someone can solve this for us!

Great stuff - thank you. Funny how professional this video is, so it would seem that it would been officially released, but nothing comes up after multiple Google searches. Maybe the female lead singer will come forward if she stumbles upon the YouTube video.

I hope so, but seems unlikely she will stumble across it, as it's not a widely viewed video. Wonder if there's anywhere else that might be useful for spreading the word?

I'd just really like to buy a copy (if it exists). The audio on the video is mostly ok, but I 'think' it's mono.

SOLVED.

The duo were called Strange Moves (Warren Bacall & Michelle Morrison), and they released one single together in 1986 (Passionate Strangers).

Either 'You Were The Drug' was released but is so obscure it hasn't even been added to Discogs, or it's an unreleased song, which seems bizarre considering they made a video for it.

Awesome stuff!! Thanks for solving that, now we need to find that 7" single and share it for all the hear. I have to imagine they released a 7" promo single, if they took the time to prepare a music video for the song.

The 2 tracks from the 45 were used in the Lost but not forgotten series

Which volume of Lost But Not Forgotten 80s was Only When We Touch on? I can't see it listed anywhere?

It appears Paul has posted many exclusive tracks on his YouTube channel that were not included in the series, I think only 1 track was used in the LBNF series.
Sorry about that.
