Chris Isaak, age 66 today Jun 26, 2022. This put him on the map, won awards, and has been covered many times in televised singing contests.

That song, and not a damn thing else. For hell of it though, I'm now tempted to dig up episodes of his short-lived and all but forgotten TV show

Are you talking about "The Chris Isaak Show"? That show was alright, it's on YouTube.

I first heard this song in Eyes Wide Shut and fell in love with Chris since.
