In 1986 saw an American singer hit the top 5 in the UK with a lyrical narrative song named Camouflage.
The song was released from the 1986 album 'The Big Heat' on IRS records and this unusual song stormed the UK charts, although it did not chart in the USA.
The song was about a young soldier who was on a mission in Vietnam and became separated from his patrol. Alone and afraid he meets up with a Marine called Camouflage and they fight there way back to base only to be told that the very man who helped him was already dead!
Unusual topic which captured the UK imagination rather than the Americans. Following that the solo success went on hold as Stan went on to write and produce many films scores.
