A few months ago there was a thread that talked about Hired Guns being used for POP artists that you would not expect.
Here is an example that I just ran across but would have never expected.

A friend asked me to find her a song by an 80's group called "Everything But the Girl" They were around during the Pet Shop Boys era remember "West End Girls" anyway I remembered EBTG had a song called "Driving" that was pretty laid back and smoothe I liked it ok but thought of it as just another 80's tune. It came out in 1990 but really 80's ish.
