A little background history - it was written by songwriter Burt Bacharach, Rudy Lewis had just replaced Ben E.

Coldplay - Amsterdam

Once in a while, a real beauty makes the charts. This tear jerker is one of those. Note the references to drugs... it's about a musician who OD-ed.

Sarah McLachan - Angel
