In 1984, Moyet released her debut solo album Alf, which immediately became a hit in Britain reaching No. 1 in the album chart. During the beginning of her career, Alison performed alongside popular musicians such as Paul Young, David Bowie, and Pete Townshend. She also provided vocals for Paul McCartney’s “Let It Be” one evening during a microphone mishap.
