This hand-me down track was then used by his erstwhile session keyboardist Greg Phillinganes for his solo album and the track is credited to Chris Mosdell (who wrote most of YMO's English lyrics), Sakamoto and one M Jackson! Later when Greg Philinganes became the keyboardist for your namesake Clapton while working on the Phil Collins produced album, August, the Michael Jackson lyrical reworking of Behind the Mask was used and hence Eric Clapton mistakenly gets all the credit for it. And it doesn't end there - Human League did a version of Behind the Mask in 1993, and used the same Jackson/Clapton version of it. While at it, the Human League similarly mangled another YMO original Kimi Ni Mune Kyun with their own English version of it, which did not go down well with the YMO purist fans. Hey Eric,

I thought announcer were referring to the important singer...but probably were you?!? Ok, probably this is the most stupid comment you've ever heard... anyway let me tell you in Italian language something: "Roman vende gadget ed <a HREF="http://www.romanforniture.com" TITLE="Roman Articoli Pubblicitari" rel="nofollow">articoli pubblicitari </A> personalizzabili".

Was wondering if you'd be available for an interview (e-mail q n' a or phone if you'd rather). If you're interested contact me through my site. BTW. As a PR guy and a film lover I'd say Sweet Smell of Success is an AMAZING movie choice! Eric,
