Keith Marshall

Artist: Keith Marshall
LP: 7" single
Song: "Only Crying"
[ listen ]

Though the ocean, pictured here, plays a large role in this sad little love song by Keith Marshall, the singer wouldn't allow himself to be photographed on its sandy, windswept shores. In fact, he insisted that photos for the sleeve of his 1981 "Only Crying" single be taken only within the controlled environment of the studio, where his carefully arranged hairstyle wouldn't be compromised by the elements. You can read about Keith Marshall (formerly of Hello) here, and find the "Only Crying" lyrics here.

I am a friend of Keith's and we sometimes sing together in an undisclosed venue in London. I have brought it to his attention how popular he still is, (videos on Youtube)from fans especially from Germany and other European countries. Oh, and by the way he still occasionally sings "Only Crying" from time to time!
