Sold On Song

BRITs 25 Song Award
That's Entertainment - The Jam

Paul Weller's catalogue of British life had a very quick birth. He had come home after a nightout drinking and was on a London bus when inspiration struck. It didn't take long for the words to roll off his pen.

The song reached 21 in the UK charts on it's release in 1981. But it would return twice more. Once after the band split and 13 tracks hit the charts in the same weeks and ten years after the first release when it reached #60.
