A Good Heart

In 1985 this week saw Feargal Sharkey hit the top of the UK singles charts with a Good Heart. The song was released on Virgin Records and was on his self titled solo album.

The song was written by American singer Maria McKee and was about her relationship with Benmont Tench who was a member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The song was produced by synth legend David A Stewart of Eurythmics fame and another 80s legend appeared on backing was none other than Boy George.

In a twist and to be fair in love and war Feargal next single release was You Little Thief which was written by Tench about his relationship with McKee. That song peaked at number 5 in the UK singles charts. The song remained for 2 weeks at the top until Wham broke up the party.
