I catch up with singer-songwriter Martin Page, who is behind the smash hits “We built this city” by Starship and “These Dreams” by Heart. Martin has worked with Bernie Taupin, Elton John’s writing partner as well as Maurice White from Earth Wind and Fire. He also played keyboards on Ray Parker Jr’s Ghostbusters. Martin fronted the 80’s band Q-Feel, who had the hit “Dancing in Heaven” from the movie Girls just want to have fun.
He finally released his solo album in 1994 with “In the house of stone and light”, which is in my top ten of songs in the 1990’s. Speaking of the 90’s he collaborated with Go West on “King of Wishful Thinking” and “Faithful” Martin recently released The Slender Sadness, it’s a compilation of eight new songs and new recordings of eight past songs.
