This track ultimately proved his biggest hit as a performer when it reached No. 2 in the UK. Kershaw's second album was "The Riddle". The title-track, released in November 1984, proved to be his third international hit single, reaching No. 3 in the UK and Ireland, and No. 6 in New Zealand. The album also spawned two more UK Top 10 hits, "Wide Boy" and "Don Quixote", as it went multi-platinum. During this time, Kershaw toured extensively with his backing band the Krew, consisting of Keith Airey, Tim Moore, Mark Price and Dennis Smith. In July 1985, Kershaw was among the performers at Live Aid, held at Wembley Stadium. He described the experience as "absolutely terrifying". The concert turned out to be the peak of his career, as his stardom began to wane soon afterwards and he enjoyed only one more UK Top 40 hit. He continued to record and release records and collaborated with others on a number of projects. Also in 1985, Elton John asked Kershaw to play guitar on John's hit single, "Nikita". A cover of "Wouldn't it be Good" by the Danny Hutton Hitters appeared on the soundtrack of the 1986 teen romantic comedy-drama "Pretty in Pink". Later that same year, Kershaw's third solo album, "Radio Musicola", was released to critical acclaim but to little commercial success. "The Works" was released in 1989, also to little success. Two singles were released from the album, "One Step Ahead" and "Elisabeth's Eyes". Kershaw's prowess as a songwriter served him well in 1991, when his song "The One and Only" appeared on the soundtrack to the British film "Buddy's Song", and in the American movie "Doc Hollywood". "The One and Only" proved to be a UK No. 1 hit for the star of "Buddy's Song", Chesney Hawkes. During 1991, he worked with Tony Banks, the keyboard player of Genesis, on Banks' third solo album "Still". Kershaw wrote two songs for the album and co-wrote a third with Banks, singing on all three. In 1993, the Hollies had a minor hit with another of Kershaw's songs, "The Woman I Love". During the mid-1990s he also wrote and produced material for the boy band Let Loose, with two of the tracks ("Seventeen" and "Everybody Say Everybody Do") achieving reasonable success.
