Charted - Pop

Jim Diamond’s “I Should Have Known Better” topped the UK chart for one week in 1984.

The 45 version is pure white-soul power ballad

I ❤️ 80's

Yeah, I should have known better to take a chance on ever losing you

This is very much a U.K. story, but it is a selfless act that all unfolded 40 years ago today. Jim Diamond was at #1 on the U.K. charts with ‘I Should Have Known Better’.

I Should Have Known Better – I don’t want people to buy my record. I want them to buy #BandAid instead. #MusicisLife #TedTocksCovers #JimDiamond

Here is a song that went to #1 in the United Kingdom in late 1984. ‘I Should Have Known Better’ by Jim Diamond was massive in the U.K. I need to be completely honest here; I learned a lot as I was …

If there was ever a classic power ballad, it’s this song by Jim Diamond: although it starts off relatively cautiously, the chorus really packs the power ballad punch and shows what it’s made of. However, for Jim Diamond, it remained a one-hit wonder.
