My Take
Bailey is one of those figures whose fingerprints are all over the 1980s without always getting his due. As the voice of Thompson Twins, he gave us Hold Me Now and Doctor! Doctor!, but what draws me in is that he was also writing and producing, holding the whole sound in his own hands. That triple role earns my trust; it is craft, not just charisma. The fact that he still tours in his seventies, keeping that era's textures alive for new ears, makes me grateful. Few artists wear their legacy this gracefully.
