Terence Trent D'Arby: The Great Contender
Colin Irwin, Melody Maker, 1 August 1987
TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY isn't modest. But, as he's quick to point out, he has very little to be modest about. Two hit singles, a number 1 album, a Maker cover, and an anecdote out of every orifice. Colin Irwin is granted a lively audience with the blessed one.
