“Downtown Train”
Patty Smyth
The second single from Patty’s stellar solo debut album Never Enough was also its second flop single. The title track (which was on the first Lost Hits list) peaked at #61, but Patty’s cover of the Tom Waits song “Downtown Train” debuted at #95 in June 1987, which is where it peaked, dropping off the chart after just two weeks. WTF? Of course, Rod Stewart would go on to hit #3 in 1990 with his version. Oh, and we’ll be seeing Patty (and her old bandmates) later.
