Paul Melvyn Carrack (born 22 April 1951) is an English musician who has recorded both as a solo artist and as a member of several notable bands. The BBC has referred to him as “The Man with the Golden Voice”, while Record Collector noted that if vocal talent equaled commercial success, Carrack would be as widely known as artists such as Phil Collins or Elton John. Carrack first rose to prominence in the mid‑1970s as the frontman and principal songwriter of the rock band Ace. He later gained further recognition through his solo work and his tenures with Squeeze and Roger Waters’ Bleeding Heart Band, contributing lead vocals on selected recordings by both groups. From the mid‑1980s to the late 1990s, he achieved major success as co‑lead vocalist (alongside Sad Café’s Paul Young) and songwriter for Mike + The Mechanics. After Young’s death in 2000, Carrack became the band’s sole lead vocalist until his departure in 2004. Carrack performed lead vocals on several of the best‑known songs by the bands he worked with, including Ace’s “How Long” (1975), Squeeze’s “Tempted” (1981), and Mike + The Mechanics’ “Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)” (1985), “The Living Years” (1988) and “Over My Shoulder” (1995). He also sang on tracks from Roger Waters’ albums Radio K.A.O.S. (1987) and The Wall – Live in Berlin (1990).
