2006
Overview
The next day I wrote the song Cruisin' and recorded it with a singer called Desiree Heslop. We took it to [Simon Cowell] and he loved it but could not agree terms with Desiree. So Sinitta asked if she could record the vocals. Simon hated the idea of the record so much that I even recorded it with alternative lyrics. But the new version just did not have the X-factor, and Sinitta and I joined forces to fight for So Macho to be released.Eventually, we won. The record was released at the end of 1985 and received a great reception from the gay community. It remained in the bottom reaches of the Top 100 for six months. When I saw a taxi driver holding a sign saying 'Simon Cowell'. I went up to him and said: 'Hi, I'm a friend of Simon's and want to play a little trick on him, can I carry your sign please?' When Simon came through customs and saw me standing there his face fell. '[GEORGE HARGREAVES], what's happened?' he said, full of concern.
