Workshy is a band formed in London in 1986 by Michael McDermott, Chrysta Jones and Kevin Kehoe (who left in 1992). They are perhaps best known for their songs “Never The Same” and “You’re The Summer” as well as covers of the Bacharach/David song “I Say A Little Prayer”, “If I Ever Lose This Heaven” and Carole King’s “It’s Too Late.”
The band was signed by UK-based Magnet Records in June 1987 and released their debut album “The Golden Mile” in 1989.
All Workshy's back catalogue was released for download in 2011. They released a new single for download in 2012, In This Neighbourhood (unplugged) - a reworking of one of their earlier classic tracks.
Somebody may refer to:
"Somebody" is a country music song written by Dave Berg, Sam Tate, and Annie Tate. It was initially recorded by singer Mark Wills for his 2001 studio album Loving Every Minute. Reba McEntire later recorded the same song for her 2003 album Room to Breathe, releasing it as that album's second single in January 2004. By August of that year, McEntire's version had reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.
The song debuted at number 55 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week ending January 17, 2004.
"Somebody" is the B-side to Aerosmith's first single, "Dream On", from their 1973 debut album, Aerosmith. Written by lead singer Steven Tyler and his friend Steven Emspak and released in June 1973, its A-side peaked at number 59 nationally but hit big in the band's native Boston, where it was the number 1 single of the year on the less commercial top 40 station, WBZ-FM, number 5 for the year on highly rated Top 40 WRKO-AM, and number 16 on heritage Top 40 WMEX-AM.
"Somebody" is driven by a basic blues guitar riff and Tyler's lyrics tell the story of a character trying to search for the woman of his dreams. The character is in need of someone who shares the work with him and has been through the same difficulties in their life as he has. Originally written in 1970.
Aerosmith regularly performed this song throughout the early seventies, the first known time was in Mendon, Massachusetts on November 6, 1970 at Nipmuc Regional High School. The last-known performance of the song was in Yokohama on June 26, 1988 at the Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium during the Permanent Vacation Tour.
