This song appeared on the album WHAT ME WORRY? from Yukihiro Takahashi, that was released in 1982 and later again several times on CD. Takahashi is one of the members of YMO - Yellow Magic Orchestra, the famous pioneers of Japanese electronic music. On this song we can first hear the vocals of Ronny (a French singer) and then parts - in between - sung by Zaine. The melody and music in this song is really beautiful and it's mixed in a way that makes Zaine's voice sound very well. Possibly also Takahashi sings on the song. I'm not sure about that.

On the picture we see Zaine Griff in the middle, surrounded by members of YMO - Yellow Magic Orchestra and a blond woman who is said to be either Bo Derek (not likely) or singer Ellen Fowley (more likely, but unknown why she's here).

On the album WHAT ME WORRY? there are two other songs (DISPOSABLE LOVE and THE REAL YOU) where Zaine sings (backing vocals). Those songs are written by Takahashi himself.

Other artists Zaine worked with are the world famous movie soundtrack composer Hans Zimmer (who did music for over a 100 movies and won two oscars. Hans played in Zaine's band several years and played on both of Zaine's albums), David Bowie, The Kinks, The Human Instinct, Kate Bush and members of Ultravox.

I don't mean to break any rules or copyrights. If I might do so and the owner of the rights would not agree, please let me know. This song is uploaded for fan purposes to give a larger platform for the music of Zaine Griff, an artist admired by thousands of people around the world, as very little of his music (two albums and an amount of singles) is rereleased on CD upto now.

The last rerelease of WHAT ME WORRY? was released by Tempel, marketed by Spalax Music under license of Alpha Music.
