Efektem byt kontrakt z MCA i nagrany w 1983 prawdziwy singlowy debiut "I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". Sukcesem był kolejny "Wouldn't It Be Good", a zwłaszcza remake "Human Racing" (drugie miejsce na liście brytyjskiej). Popytowi na łatwo wpadające w ucho przeboje towarzyszyły trasy koncertowe, w których Kershawawi towarzyszyła grupa The Krew w składzie: Dennis Smith, Keiffer Airey (brat Dona Aireya z Rainbow), Tim Moore, Mark Price i żona lidera, Sheri. Na pierwszych dwóch albumach pojawili się też Don Snow (poprzednio Squeeze i Sinceros) i Mark King z Level 42. W 1985 zafascynowany Kershawem Elton John zaproponował mu partię gitarową na singlu "Nikita". Powodzenie dwóch pierwszych nagrań nie pomogło kolejnym sygnowanym przez muzyka. W latach 90. przypomniał się jako kompozytor ("The One And Only" w wersji Chesney Hawkes).
