Born on Dec 14: Mike Scott (The Waterboys)

Michael 'Mike' Scott (born 14 December 1958 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is the founding member, lead singer and chief songwriter of rock band The Waterboys.

"The Whole of the Moon" is a 1985 single taken from The Waterboys' album This Is the Sea. Written and produced by Mike Scott, the single was not a big success when initially released in 1985, only making the lower ends of the chart. Subsequently it became one of The Waterboys' best-known songs and their most commercially successful. It is arguably the band's signature song and was the Ivor Novello Award winner "Best Song Musically and Lyrically" in 1991.
