Martin Page "Keeper of the Flame"

"Keeper of the Flame" was the other song from singer Martin Page. Much like Jude Cole, Page's impressive resume contains extensive behind-the-scenes work with Josh Groban, Tom Jones, Robbie Williams, Go West, and even Elton John's writing partner, Bernie Taupin. While "Keeper of the Flame" was a minor hit, "In The House of Stone and Light" remains Page's biggest solo achievement.

Take That - "Back For Good"

When asked to rattle off the names of popular boy bands, you'd likely say Backstreet Boys, 'N-Sync, NKOTB, and a couple others without even mentioning the British group Take That.  Despite never being a household name, Take That scored their biggest hit with "Back For Good" in 1995.  The song was such a hit that it remained on the AC charts for 66 weeks.  Take That included Robbie Williams who left the band in 1995 to embark on a solo career.  Williams was a huge sensation in the UK and apparently had an even bigger ego (his album was titled "The Ego Has Landed"), but his ego and career never took off in the States.  Take That broke up for good in 1996--while the song was still climbing the charts.
