After 13 years in the business, James Warren, had his first hit in the summer of 1980 with a song written in minutes.  Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime has regularly reappeared in the charts since, becoming a modern-day standard. Its simplicity and directness has seen it enthral artists across numerous genres -  reggae, jungle, shoegaze, plainsong, you name it - in covers from Beck, Baby D, Erasure, Glasvegas, The Dream Academy, The Cantemus Girl’s Choir, Richard Thompson and many, many others. It has been used in numerous movies and TV shows and turned up during the One World concert for the COVID-19 crisis being sung by Italian superstar Zucchero.

Recorded in Spring 2020 during the lockdown.
