Someone's Coming
"Someone's Coming" is a song by the British singer-songwriter Steve Harley, which was released in 1979 as the second and final single from his 1978 debut solo album ''Hobo with a Grin''. It was written by Harley and Jo Partridge, and produced by Harley. Background The release of Harley's debut solo album, ''Hobo with a Grin'', and the lead single " Roll the Dice", in July 1978 was met with commercial failure. After a period of living in Los Angeles, Harley returned to England in late 1978. Around this time, plans were made for "Someone's Coming" to be released as the album's second single. It was originally slated for release on 10 November 1978, however the date was then pushed back to 23 February 1979. For its release as a single, a remixed version of the song was created. Like its parent album and "Roll the Dice", "Someone's Coming" was a commercial failure, failing to make an appearance in the UK Top 75. Like much of the ''Hobo with a Grin'' album, the song was recorded Abbe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Steve Harley
Steve Harley (born Stephen Malcolm Ronald Nice; 27 February 1951) is an English singer and songwriter, best known as frontman of the rock group Cockney Rebel, with whom he still tours, albeit with frequent and significant personnel changes. Early life Harley was born in 1951 in Deptford, London, the second of five children. His father was a milkman and his mother a semi-professional jazz singer.

Lawrence, the prose of John Steinbeck, Virginia Woolf and Ernest Hemingway, and the music of Bob Dylan, which inspired him to a career of words and music. From the age of nine, Harley began taking classical violin lessons and would later play as part of his grammar school orchestra. Age ...

He told the ''Stockport Times'' in 1996, "It's my first album for four years so it's like a new beginning. It has blue and dark moments but then so has my life. Some of the songs may appear quite gloomy but I find it optimistic. It's my most confident set of lyrics ever. I've never made a record like this, where I can come away and I genuinely want to sing and play it live." Speaking of his songwriting during this period of ...
