Rod Stewart "How Long"

Never one to shy from remaking a popular song, Rod Stewart scooped up Ace's signature tune "How Long" and took it for a test drive of his own in 1981. Rod's version went on to become more popular (on the Adult Contemporary Chart) as it peaked at #5 as compared to #24 for Ace.

Paul Carrack - "Don't Shed A Tear"


Much like Jude Cole, Paul Carrack's extensive resume would shame most established musicians.  Credited for his work in Ace, Squeeze, Mike + The Mechanics, and Roger Waters, Paul Carrack has quietly kicked some major ass in the music business.  His biggest solo tune was 1987's "Don't Shed A Tear" which is one of those songs that would probably stump even the most avid music lover during an "Audio Daily Double" on Jeopardy.
