Musical Interlude: They Don't Know (1983)

British comedienne Tracey Ullman first landed on American shores in 1983 with her debut CD, "You Broke My Heart In 17 Places". Yep, she's a singer, too, and a good one. Tracey channels 60's Motown with an 80's bent on "They Don't Know", which peaked at #8 here in the US. The album also included a cover of Irma Thomas' "Breakaway", which we'll serve up another time.

Oh, and watch for the twist ending to the video, with some fella named McCartney........



Paul McCartney's cameo wasn't a real surprise. At the time, he & Tracey were filming the movie, "Give My Regards to Broad Street", and 30 years later, Tracey would return the favor by appearing in one of McCartney's videos.
