The A Side:
Wishing Well (The Cool In The Shade Mix) 7:50
The B Side:
(What A) Wonderful World 3:55
Elevators & Hearts 4:04
The Brief:
For the second single from ‘Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby’, D’Arby hit a home run, capturing the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot Black Singles Chart. On this US commercial 12”, Francois Kevorkian was called in to remix the single. On the flip side we get two awesome non-album tracks; Terence does a masterful cover of Sam Cook’s “(What A) Wonderful World” and also gives us the wonderful, self-penned “Elevators & Hearts”.
The Billboard Charts:
| Chart | Debuted | Debut Pos. | Peak Pos. | Wks on Chart |
| Hot 100 | 1/16/88 | 79 | 1 | 25 |
| Hot Black Singles | 1/16/88 | 1 | 18 | |
| Hot Dance/Disco | 1/30/88 | 7 | 10 |

I’m seeing a pattern here….this is the week of two dreadlocked R&B singers from the late 80s.
But what differing chart success they achieved on the Hot 100!
This is such a brilliant song from Terence. So brilliant that I thought the US charts wouldn’t embrace it, especially since the debut single didn’t cause that big stir. Glad I was proven wrong.
What do you suppose is next?
ummmmm….more dreadlocked singers from the late 80s…like Milli Vanilli?
JOKING!
I guess Georgio will feature next, but I hope Sign Your Name will figure in somewhere sometime…
I am very happy with your Terence posts.
What did this guy f#ck it up after his immense succes, what a waste!
He could’ve been huge.
Thank god for us he made one brilliant album, and thank you for sharing these gems with us!

Thanks for these TTD mixes…I forgot how good they were. Does anybody have the other Wishing Well mix called “Three Coins In A Fountain Mix” in lossless.
Gotta it.
Thanks Richie. Another mix I didn’t have.
