Like to Get to Know You Well - Howard Jones - MP3 instrumental karaoke

After scoring his first Number 1 record in the UK with his studio debut Human's Lib, English singer-songwriter Howard Jones set out to conquer the world of pop music with the track "Like to Get to Know You Well," originally released as a non-album single in the summer of 1984. Its release coincided with the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and, even though it wasn't an official anthem, it became a worldwide hit by breaking into the Top 10 in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Sweden. Across the Atlantic, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at Number 49. Written by Howard Jones and produced by Rupert Hine, "Like to Get to Know You Well" is a quintessential 1980s synthpop entry about the power of togetherness. The track was included in the remixes collection The 12" Album (1984) and was featured as a bonus track on the CD version of his 1985 second LP, Dream into Action. Additionally, the song appeared in the 1985 American comedy Better Off Dead starring John Cusack.
