About
Johnny Hates Jazz, comprising Clark Datchler (songwriting, vocals, keyboards) and Mike Nocito (production, engineering, guitars), achieved prominence in the late 1980s with a string of hits, notably Shattered Dreams. Released in March 1987, the song reached top 5 in the UK, mainland Europe, Asia, and secured the second position in Japan. This was followed by global successes like the anti-war anthem I Don't want to be a Hero. In 1988, Shattered Dreams reached number 2 on the US Billboard chart and topped the US Adult Contemporary chart. That same year, the album Turn Back The Clock entered the UK charts at number 1, selling over four million copies and achieving triple-platinum status.
