The song was released as a single under the name 'Numan & Dadadang' and reached No. Numan listened to the song's demo in his dressing room, prior to his concert at Birmingham Town Hall on 27 October 1993, and arranged to record his vocals the following day. In 1993, the Nicholsons teamed up with Numan again to record the Hugh Nicholson-penned ' Like a Refugee (I Won't Cry)'. The album sleeve heavily promoted Numan and John's involvement without their approval and the album was soon withdrawn due to legal issues. In addition to Numan's involvement, Elton John plays keyboards on two of the album's tracks, 'Strange Thing' and 'The Victim'. The album Radio Heart was released in January 1988, with Hugh Nicholson as vocalist on the rest of the material. However, Numan was not keen on the material beyond the three songs he had already recorded, and the singer did not make further contributions towards the project. Numan suggested they forward songs for his consideration and he would pick the ones he liked, leaving the rest for other singers. įollowing the release of 'London Times', the Nicholsons approached Numan about recording an album's worth of material with him on vocals.

48 in the UK in June 1987 and 'All Across the Nation' reached No. Two further songs were recorded with Numan and released as singles during the year 'London Times' reached No. The song was released as a single in March 1987 under the name 'Radio Heart featuring Gary Numan' and reached No. Once the Nicholson brothers had recorded most of the backing track, Ade Orange provided keyboards and Numan then contributed vocals. In 1986, as Numa Records was in the process of being wound up, Matt Nicholson suggested Numan provide vocals on the song 'Radio Heart'. Gary Numan became involved with Radio Heart through the Nicholson's brother, Matt Nicholson, who at the time formed part of the management team for Numan's label Numa Records, alongside Numan and his father Tony Webb. Radio Heart was formed as a music project by brothers Hugh and David Nicholson as a vehicle for a number of songs Hugh Nicholson had written. Radio Heart was a music project by Scottish brothers Hugh and David Nicholson, formerly of Blue, who are best known for their collaboration with Gary Numan in 1987.
