but anyway, "come back and stay" essentially did effortlessly what "greater" talents like Gary Numan and Martin Gore were trying to do circa the same time ... fretless bass, soulful singing, great synth arrangement, romantic torment. even 20 years after the fact, it's pretty singular. why did PY turn into yer standard-issue soul-belter for bored hausfraus?

Because that was the last track to feature the Fabulous Wealthy tarts on backing vocals. They were 'let go' for financial reasons, and that was it baby. Not everything before it was wonderful, but everything afterwards was rrrrrrrrrrrghh. plop

This in from Wikipedia.
Lee's most famous composition is "Hanging on the Telephone". Originally a Nerves number released to little notice in 1976, Blondie made the song famous through a UK top 5 single cover version from their hugely successful album Parallel Lines. The song remains a popular cover choice of bands today, even if many groups are unfamiliar with any version predating Blondie's. Lee also contributed another number to Parallel Lines, "Will Anything Happen?", and later wrote a hit for Paul Young, "Come Back and Stay".
Lee has also released a solo album entitled Greatest Hits, Vol. 1.

Some people are saying I'm an early 80's whore. I already told that I don't care.

TPL gets to the difficult, hardly written about but arguably better follow-up.
