Time to reappraise Kershaw's career as a songsmith. Nik has kept busy as a writer and collaborator for the likes of Elton John, The Osmonds and Chesney Hawkes.
As the title of this collection suggests, all of Nik's solo hits are included. Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me and Human Racing have retained that special magic. However, Wide Boy and Don Quixote are now as embarrassing as white Pixie boots. More interesting are the new songs Cloud Nine and What It Is. Still a craftsman, Kershaw writes a good tune and a more credible vocal talent could score Nik another hit or two. Now wouldn't that be good?
