"High On Emotion" by Chris de Burgh

In the US, Chris de Burgh is largely known for his biggest hit, the gentle balled "The Lady In Red". The song swooned all the way to #3 in 1987 and gave him his highest charting album too ("Into The Light" reached #25). Despite being his biggest single yet, "The Lady In Red" was de Burgh's last appearance on the chart.

There is no question de Burgh is a talented balladeer, but he put out plenty of upbeat guitar and synth rockers too. His biggest was "Don't Pay The Ferryman", which went to #34 in 1983. It came from his debut charting record, "The Getaway", which ran up to #43.

In-between those two records was the underrated "Man On The Line". This album only reached #69, but it contains one of the best songs in de Burgh's catalogue, "High On Emotion". It only went to #44 in 1984, and in my opinion, deserved much better.
