"Now don't be afraid, come and join the parade for the ultimate sacrifice...." "Johnny hates Jazz" were for a couple of months in the late eighties the toast of the global music industry and their clients, us. A three piece band consisting of two damned good looking englishmen (and one unfortunately butt-ugly American), they released a string of world wide smash hits between April 1987 and February 1988, before splitting and sinking back into oblivion. The band's first incarnation consisted of Clark Datchler (vocals, keys), Calvin Hayes (keys) and bassist Mike Nocito. Although still in their early twenties, the three of them had a plethora of studio experience: Hayes was the son of the owner of RAK Studios, and he and Nocito had engineered and recorded for years. Datchler already had a single release under his own name under his belt before the other two asked him to join.

Cold byday, cold by night
I wonder where the summers gone
Make no mistake,no mistake
Ive got to find you
Well you can tell all your friends
Thatt you found a way
Go tell them all that youve come to stay
(chorus)
Just to listen, just to listen
Just to listen to your heart
(repeat)
Take your chances
Take your time
Lets take a slow dance out of here
Now I know, now Im sure
Im flying tonight
Well you can tell all your friends
That youve found a way
Go tell them all that youre here to stay
(chorus)
Oh no
Hot by day, hot by night
I wonder where the winters gone
Theres no mistake,no mistake
We feel the same way
Well you can tell all your friends
That youve found a way
Go tell them all youre here to stay
(chorus 2xs)
