I'm Lucky - Misplaced Pages

"I'm Lucky" is a song written and recorded by the Kittitian-English singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading, released as a single from her seventh studio album, Walk Under Ladders (1981). The single peaked at No. 46 on the UK Singles Chart, with its highest placing being No. 42 on the Dutch Single Top 100.

The song is notable for its heavy use of synthesizer played by Thomas Dolby, which lends the song an ethereal, dreamlike progressive pop quality.
