He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1980s. Three of his hit singles, “I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On“, “Addicted to Love“ and “Simply Irresistible“, were accompanied with stylish music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan.
