The cover artwork to Someone Like You is as iconic in that it brings together the talents of two amazing individuals in Keith Haring and disco queen Sylvester. The song itself is not to be overlooked either, it’s a timepiece of 1986 disco funk that would fill a dance floor anywhere in the world.

Nick Kamen shot to instant fame in the 80s when he appeared in a Levis 501 advert where he stripped down to his boxer shorts in a laundromat.
Madonna plucked him from the laundromat and turned him into a pop star with the song Each Time You Break My Heart. The hits continued into the 90s including a cover of the Four Tops track, Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever, that went to No.1 in Italy during 1987
