Mike & The Mechanics "let me fly"
Spotify listen:
seventh album from this prog rock spin off band...
I have their first two and like them, have not heard any others until now...
follows the same radio friendly style of those two early albums..
I was actually impressed that they still have it after all those decades...
from the album:

I checked Mike And The Mechanics Wiki page, Carrack left the band in 2000.
I was unaware that Carrack replaced Jools Holland on keyboards in Squeeze aka UK Squeeze in 1981 (remember them, their biggie was "cool for cats" 79/80-ish),
I mean I knew Jools left the band, just didn't know who the replacement was.
