...record companies move even more product overseas than the TV and movie studios, although American singers aren't quite so exportable. It is almost exclusively black American women (and black men with long hair) who have current hits overseas -- Janet Jackson, Tina Turner, Gloria Gaynor, Terence Trent D'Arby. The one U.S. band with a Top 10 hit in Japan, curiously, is the has-been Kid Creole and the Coconuts -- a fact that was not, happily, raised by either side in Tokyo last week...

His 1987 Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby demonstrated a surging talent. You could hear Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke in his voice, the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix in his songs. D'Arby quickly got sidetracked from his talent and ensnared in hype, and his second album, full of the kind of brashness that comes from uncertainty, stiffed badly. Symphony or Damn was his last big chance...
