SIGN YOUR NAME
“Sign Your Name” is a song written and performed by Terence Trent D’Arby (now known as Sananda Maitreya), released as a single in December 1987. Released on his 1987 album Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby, it was an international success, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in early 1988 and number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song was remixed by Lee “Scratch” Perry for some European releases. The music video was directed by Vaughan Arnell and was premiered in January 1988. (More from Wikipedia)
Terence Trent d’Arby, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent d’Arby – I remember there being a huge amount of hype associated with this album; the title alone promises more than almost anyone would be able to deliver. There were two hit singles from the album in the US called “Wishing Well” and “Sign Your Name”, both excellent (so were the music videos for these songs); and US album sales hit two million. Another song from the album, “If You Let Me Stay” was a major Top 10 hit in the UK that stayed in the top half of the charts for over a year.
