Don't You Feel Like Trying Something New

All I know is that Joe Jackson looks very creepy in this video of a love nearly getting on the train and leaving for good.  The video looks very English and that might be because the five-time Grammy award winner Joe Jackson hails from the UK.  Here is his top 20 hit from 1983 - "Breaking Us in Two"...

Sometimes You Start Feeling So Lost and Lonely

Best known probably for his hit "Steppin' Out," I always thought this dude was a brother, but turns out he's a white English musician. Here is Joe with his 1984 top 20 hit "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)"...

The Mist Across the Window Hides the Lines

I always liked this peppy little tune from 1983. It's from English musician Joe Jackson, and it's his hit "Steppin' Out"...
