"Ever So Lonely" is a song written by Steve Coe and originally recorded by Monsoon with Sheila Chandra on vocals. The single went on to be a No. 12 hit in the UK in April 1982, staying for nine weeks on the chart. It was a hit in the UK, Europe and Australia but was never released as a single in the United States. Chandra was aged only 16 and had just left school when her first single was a hit. The band were later signed to Phonogram after being discovered by David Claridge and the song was the first release on his new label "The Mobile Suit Corporation". Several different remixes were made including three by Monsoon, two by Ben Chapman, and several by Jakatta). The song eventually reached #12 in the UK. Reviewing the band, iTunes said: ""The band's pop songs were no different than most, but the addition of Indian instrumentation and Chandra's wonderful voice evoked images of the Orient seldom seen on the British pop charts since George Harrison's excursions with the Beatles." more »
