For a Friend

"For a Friend" is a single from the British pop duo The Communards taken from their 1987 album "Red".
The song is an emotional ballad and was written in the memory of Mark Ashton, a friend of Jimmy Somerville and Richard Coles. Mark Hooper of "The Rough Guide to Rock" writes that this cut may be Somerville's "most impassioned moment". "For a Friend" reached number 28 on the British charts.
