(2) Crown of Thorns were a blast of melodic rock fresh air when they crashed onto the scene in the mid 90's. The dynamic pairing of vocalist Jean Beauvoir and former Shalamar guitarist Micki Free.
AOR melodic rock band Crown of Thorns featuring Jean Beauvoir. Toured with Bon Jovi and Van Halen.
(3)Crown Of Thorns was one of the forerunners of the "disco/synth" influenced techno sound, albeit with a "punky" edge, that would become all the rage a decade later. They made their first album appearance on the Illegal Records collection The Defiant Pose in 1983 with "Gone Are The Days." Their debut EP followed in the US later that year.
In 1984, five more songs appeared in the UK only, in various 12" and 7" combinations: "Kingdom Come", "Guns In The Name Of God", "World Radio", "Diamond Jim" and "No Man's Land". The band's output seems, abruptly, to have ended there. An anticipated debut album never materialized and the band soon faded from memory, reduced to nothing more than an entry on William Orbit's resumé...

Crown Of Thorns
Suddenly I'm feeling unclear
Feel our love is fading what can I do
Come to me and lend me your ear
Let the curtains open and this be our que
Swear with all my heart sweet Jesus
There ain't nothing no one's got could ever reach us
Chorus:
Baby, I'll be standing on the corner for ya'
And when you cry girl you won't be alone
You look for me I'll be right there on the corner for ya'
Ah
Tried so hard to leave it alone
Girl my soul is breaking thinking of you
It was my mistake now I'm on my own
You did everything you promised me that you'd do
Now I swear with all my heart sweet Jesus
There ain't nothing no one's got could ever reach us
Chorus:
Baby, I'll be standing on the corner for ya'
And when you cry girl you won't be alone
You look for me I'll be right there on the corner for ya'
Ah

So this song has two versions, I just realized that. I liked this one a little bit more than the other. Higher tone and more power ballad.

Jean Beauvoir should have been huge!
