Listen To Your Father – The Song

“Listen To Your Father“ is a song by the Northern Irish singer Feargal Sharkey, released as his standalone debut single on 1 October 1984. It was written by Carl Smyth, and produced by Sharkey and Liquidator Productions (i.e. the English ska and pop band Madness). The song reached No. 23 in the UK and No. 22 in Ireland. The B-side, “Can I Say I Love You”, was written by Smyth and Sharkey. The single was the first to be released on Zarjazz, a sub-label of Virgin Records which had been formed that year by Madness. All members of Madness performed on the record minus lead vocalist Suggs. When “Listen to Your Father” became a hit, Sharkey left the label to sign with Virgin as Madness had not required him to sign a contract with their label.
