Your explanation of that song by Lloyd is exactly why us Gen Xers complain about "modern music." It seems like songcraft now is just about finding a good sample from an old original song, and just building around it. It's one thing to cover a great song, but it's another thing just to rip it off.

this song is a part of Genx genetic code. It has a memory or feeling associated with it for virtually all of us.

No matter how many times I hear True I can’t help but sing along! Same with their song Gold.

The egregious sampling that started in the 90s bugs me. It is one thing to like a song and do a cover of it in your own style, but many were just lifting melodies and rhythms from songs as if it was their own. So many young people have gone through their lives thinking 'artists' they liked came up with these great sounds, when they were actually lifted from other songs. It is not until they stumble across the original that they realize what happened.

This came out in 1983 and it is still a beautiful song. Tony Hadley can sing anything. He still performs. Sade ( the english singer) designed their outfit

A large percentage of popular music artists are simply sampling a prior musician’s creative work. The artist may add a beat or background sound effect, but the melody comes from the musician.

Spandau Ballet were huge in the UK and only crossed over to the USA with this #4 hit. They were a big part of the early-'80s "New Romantic" musical movement in England. Psychedelic rappers P.M. Dawn took this sample all the way to #1 Pop with their "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" back around 1991.

This song came out when I was in middle school and it absolutely was one of the definitive slow dances!
