Feargal Sharkey - Listen to Your Father

Less than a year after releasing the ‘Never Never’ single with The Assembly, Feargal Sharkey released the single ‘Listen to Your Father’. The single was the first to be released on the Madness own record label after Madness had left Stiff Records to set up their own label. The song peaked at number 23 in the UK charts.

In some circles this single was basically a Madness single in all but the vocal as it was written by Madness Carl Smyth (AKA Chas Smith) and Madness play all the music. Like other Smyth songs such as Michael Caine, there's no clear meaning but somehow the words fit the music brilliantly; impressionism rather than literalism. A year later, autumn 1985, Feargal Sharkey was back with his eponymous debut album and its flagship single, the Maria McKee-penned A Good Heart.
