We talk to John Parr - Grammy nominated singer songwriter who took over the American airwaves in the 1980s with chart smashes such as 'Naughty Naughty', movie soundtrack hits from 'The Running Man' and 'Three Men & A Baby' as well as his huge number 1 hit single 'Man In Motion' from 'St. Elmo's Fire'. John reveals how a working class lad from Worksop with an old school work ethic and insatiable passion for music would become a much sought after songwriter working with likes of hit makers such as Meat Loaf, Harold Faltermeyer and David Foster.
