"Good Tradition" is a song, written and originally recorded by Tanita Tikaram and released as a single in 1988 from the album "Ancient Heart".

Story

Released in 1988, Good Tradition is Tanita Tikaram's debut song. When it was released, it went largely unnoticed and attracted little media attention. The song therefore did not get much airplay, but weeks after its release, the single started climbing up the charts and finally reached #10 at the UK Singles Chart in August 1988. To celebrate, Wea records released a limited edition hand design by Tikaram herself in which she tells the brief story of the song, the song's success on the charts, and thanks everyone that supported the song.

The Video

The video for "Good Tradition" features Tikaram playing in some kind of audition, which is never really self explained for what. The audience just takes it as being an audition for a musician part in a theater. At first shy, Tikaram strikes a couple of notes and the song begins, and as it develops the judges, as well the crew form the theater start dancing to the tune. At the end Tikaram can be seen with a big smile on her lips.

Cover versions

With lyrics in Swedish by Keith Almgren, the song was covered by Kikki Danielsson & Roosarna on the 1990 album "På lugnare vatten" as "I god tradition" ("In good tradition").
