From 1991, this was the final single to be released from Kim Appleby's debut album. After scoring a #2 hit in 1990 with her debut single "Don't Worry", and the #10 hit "G.L.A.D." in early 1991, Appleby had struggled with her single releases. "Mama" peaked at #19, and "If You Cared" failed to hit the top 40, peaking at #44 in the UK charts.
In 1988, Mel & Kim appeared on the UK chat show "Wogan" to launch "UK Cancer Week". They were interviewed about their career and Mel's cancer treatment. They talked about future plans, and performed a brief acapella of what would become "If You Cared". If you'd like to see the interview, watch it on youtube HERE. :)

This is one of my favorite Kim Appleby songs. It should have charted better. I love the melody and the Don't-Mess-With-Me-Matey attitude.
Great job on the blog, by the way.
Love the Kim Appleby tracks you've been uploading. Any chance you could upload her albums if you have them thanks :D
thanx so much!
thanks for posting this and including the link to that clip on you tube. it's sad to think of all the great music that mel & kim would have continued to make had it not been for the cancer.
