Paul Carrack: The Golden Voice Behind So Many Hits

Details

Description

Born today in 1951 near Sheffield, England, Paul Carrack is the soulful voice you've heard on countless classic tracks—but may not have recognized by face. From his breakout hit with Ace in 1974 ("How Long"), to fronting Squeeze for "Tempted," to becoming the voice behind Mike + the Mechanics' iconic ballads, Carrack’s career has been a journey through pop-rock royalty. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Carrack has played with legends like Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Roxy Music, and The Pretenders. With a voice often described as “the golden standard,” he’s remained a respected and prolific presence in the industry for over five decades. Still touring and recording, Carrack’s influence continues to echo through modern music.
