Aswad - Don't Turn Around

English reggae group Aswad went to #1 on the UK Pop charts in 1988 with this lovely and melodic remake of a song originally recorded by Tina Turner in 1986. I just love the harmonies and arrangements done here, particularly the synths, which is just wonderful to listen to -- this was one of my favorite songs of 1988. Don't Turn Around didn't chart on Billboard's Hot 100, which was just a crying shame, as I thought that it deserved to be a hit in the USA, but it did enter the R&B charts, peaking at #45. from the album Distant Thunder written by Albert Hammond and Diane Warren © copyright 1988 Island Records Ltd, Intersong Music Ltd, Empire Music Ltd.
