Ian MacDonald, al Greenwood left the band before recording 4, they were not permanently replaced, and the sound of the album changed. As a result, all the songs on the album were written by Lou Gramm and/or Mick Jones. MacDonald and Grievor played saxophone and keyboards, respectively, thus needed musicians who would be able to replace them. Junior Walker's saxophone solo on "Urgent" was probably the best thing on the album. The album was also recorded by a young Thomas Dolby, who later had a successful solo career. "Urgent" was re-released in 1991. Juke Box Hero went gold in the United States, and the single peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200 ...more
