Some guys have all the luck...

Little interesting information regarding Maxi Priest, whose real name is Max Elliott, apart from the fact that he is an English singer who will mainly remain in the musical history of the end of the 20th century for the high caliber Single "Wild world" which will be released in 1988.

For this reason alone we had to dedicate this article to him.

Tracks :

1984...a debut that was confidential to say the least with this first title which went somewhat under the radar. But you have to start well one day as they say...

1984...afterwards, the foundations being good, there is really reason to say that this young singer has the potential to do something interesting. Even very interesting...

1985...still no takeoff in sight in this new year 1985 but let's give it time. It won't be long...

1985...it won't be for this year 1985 but it could be for the following year. So it was worth the wait...

1986...of course the takeoff is small but it's still better than nothing. Here he scores a first success which will lead to many others, that's for sure...

1986...each title that is now released is classified, which clearly confirms that the dynamic of success is indeed in place this time...

1986...he revisits a Van Morrison title dating from 1970 and at the same time offers himself a third success in a row. All is well in the best of all possible worlds...

1987...success is limited exclusively to England but it is better than nothing at all. For the big planetary takeoff, we'll have to wait a little longer...

1987...but the rise in power is indeed real, which necessarily augurs the creation of a big, or even very big, title...

1987...new revisited version with this time this luxury cover of the Persuaders title dating from 1973. A revisited version of the most successful since it will shine throughout the Old Continent with this title...

1988...a title full of finesse and lightness which will not really be rewarded to the height of its merits. Frankly a shame because it is far from unworthy...

1988...it's yet another luxury cover that will allow him to return to the forefront and in what way ! His revisited version of Cat Stevens' title from 1970 will quite simply allow him to land his first mega global hit and above all to move once and for all from the shadows to the light in a spectacular way to say the least...

1988...the relapse behind will be violent to say the least but there is no reason to worry more than that at this stage especially when we see what is coming on the horizon...

1990...because here comes his biggest success ! Here he will quite simply win his direct ticket to posterity and prove in a masterful way that he is indisputably one of the best of his generation. MAS-TER-FUL !

1990...a sequel which will not be able to compete with the enormous previous steamroller but which will not do so badly in the end...

1990...a great, big year 1990 with quality and quantity, which doesn't spoil anything, quite the contrary. Let's hope it lasts...

1991...a year 1991 which will not really resemble the year 1990, to say the least. Success, limited to say the least, and level of productivity also limited...

1991...a title which will only be released in the United States, hence a more limited influence. Too bad because it would have deserved a little more spotlight, that's clear...

1991...he will multiply the partnerships during this decade of the 90s and it is good for him because it is these partnerships which will literally save his year 1991. Starting with this title...

1991...but it is above all this revisited version of the Starship title dating from 1987 that he shares in a duet with Roberta Flack which will allow him to add one more star to his prize list. MA-GIC !

1992...return solo at the start of 1992. A year which will be a little more favorable on the solo side than the previous one, it is clear...

1992...we still cannot speak of a return to grace, despite an obvious desire to do well. Afterwards the main thing is to believe in it as they say...

1993...minimalist year on the solo side during this year 1993 with only one title on the clock. We will have to be content with it whatever happens...

1993...new version revisited by several people this time on the title of Bob Marley dating from 1977. Revisited versions which benefit him each time in one way or another...

1996...no one believed in a miracle anymore and yet he will achieve the impossible with this return to the forefront in an unexpected and above all shattering way. So in music you should never give up !

1996...covering the reference title of Police dating from 1979 is an extremely daring bet, especially when the title is only released in Japan. Hence radiation close to absolute zero...

1996...he managed to save his year with this title, but only just. He really has difficulty maintaining himself at the highest level without coming down in a violent way to say the least...

1996...new targeted release this time with this title which will only be released in the United States. Who says targeted release means reduced audience to say the least, which will be the case for this title...

1997...a year 1997 to forget as they say with only one title on the clock and which will go completely under the radar. Years ago like that...

1997...even partnerships no longer help. Clearly, all the lights are turning orange in this second half of the 90s...

1999...if the singer wishes to move on to the next decade he will have to seriously question himself otherwise the exit door risks arriving faster than expected...

2000...this is not the case at first glance when we see the level of success achieved by this title. This is not enough and he will have to move up a gear...

2004...so he tries everything with this revisited version of the Sting title dating from 1993. Nice try but unfortunately lost bet...

2005...we hoped to see him return to the race during the 2000s but this will not be the case. Hard law of the trade...

2007...this will not prevent him from continuing to produce titles of more than certain quality. We definitely want more...

2007...it is difficult to understand how he could have disappeared from the radar in this way but that is indeed the case. It must be said that the competition is a few years younger than him in terms of age and that obviously plays a role...

2007... whatever happens, he absolutely does not intend to stop there whether there is success or not. A desire to believe in it until the end which undoubtedly commands respect...

2007...he will go all the way whether solo or with others. And in principle, who could blame him for wanting to believe it until the end...

2008...it's inevitably the core fans who are extremely excited as soon as a new opus is released. And us with them obviously...

2013...we must still remember that he started the adventure almost 30 years ago, which further underlines the performance achieved...

2014...because even if the success is very limited, he can at least boast of still being there. Which is certainly not the case for a bunch of colleagues who started at the same time as him...

2014...not only is he still here but he impresses with the quality of what he continues to deliver. The inspiration remains at a high level, it is clear...

2014...afterwards, as in music everything remains possible, he can always hope for an unexpected return to grace...

2019...especially as history is proving him right because more and more groups and singers from his era are also trying to return to the forefront...

2019...a dynamic of revival which can only serve him as much as others. So he just needs to be a little patient...

2019...the next decade will surely be a positive return to the forefront. But it must also be inspired by the latest musical trends of the moment to achieve the perfect mix between old and new trends...

2020...he will have gone through the 80s, then the 90s, then the 2000s, then the 2010s and here he is at the gates of the 2020s. A longevity that is exceptional to say the least...

2020...it now remains to be seen how he intends to approach these next 10 years : not changing anything or, on the contrary, starting to question things ? Good question...
