Michael
Franks is readily acknowledged as one of the strongest and most imaginative
lyricists in contemporary music. The former literature student, turned
to performing on a part time basis while attending UCLA. In the early
70s he turned this around by teaching an undergraduate course in music
first at UCLA and then at Berkeley, before releasing his debut in 1973.
Franks enjoyed enormous popularity throughout the 70s and 80s and for
a good portion of that time he was considered a staple artist in the
format, before his music for some reason fell out of favour. Nevertheless,
Michael has always stayed true to his unique and somewhat quirky style.
A case in point is Barefoot on the Beach and from it Every Time She
Whispers. A master of the double entendre, Franks' lyrics fall nowhere
short of brilliant!!
