Jim Diamond was formerly the lead vocalist with early 80s group Ph.D, who scored a sizeable chart hit with the song 'I Won't Let You Down'. His biggest solo hits were 'Hi Ho Silver' (the theme tune from Boon) and the chart-topper 'I Should Have Known Better'.

    'I Should Have Known Better' annoyed me due to it's second line 'To lie to one as beautiful as you'. In other words, if she had been plain and frumpish it would've been OK to tell her fibs and nobody'd be bothered!!

Do you remember these?
