"Man With a Vision" is a song written by John Parr, Keith McFarlane and Simon LeFevre, which was first recorded and released by the English band Seven as their second non-album single in 1990. In 1992, Parr released his own version as a single from his album of the same name.[1]

Seven version

Seven signed to Polydor Records in 1989 and released two singles on the label in 1990, with "Man with a Vision" being the second single. Like its predecessor, "Inside Love", "Man with a Vision" was produced by John Parr.[2] It peaked at number 91 in the UK and remained in the top 100 for two weeks.[3] The limited commercial success of "Inside Love" and "Man With a Vision" led to the band being dropped by Polydor. They split shortly after due to a series of internal struggles and disagreements.[4] [5]
