Cheers thanks Danny. On the subject of Danny then...The group Danny Wilson had 3 UK hit singles in the 1980s but which other hitmaking group of the 1990s and 00s were lead by a Danny Wilson ?

[Northernpopquizzer]

It doesn't look like anyone is going to get it so I'll give the answer and set another. The band lead by Danny Wilson is Semisonic. Moving on then, my next challenge is ...Smoky Robinson wrote 'Being With You' with a female singer in mind to record it. The lady declined and strangely, her own hit single kept 'Being With You' off the Billboard no 1 slot when Smoky decided to record it himself. Name the female singer and the song in question in 1981.
