"Man With a Vision" is a song written by John Parr, Keith McFarlane and Simon LeFevre, which was first recorded and released by the English band Seven as their second non-album single in 1990. In 1992, Parr released his own version as a single from his album of the same name.

Seven version

Seven signed to Polydor Records in 1989 and released two singles on the label in 1990, with "Man with a Vision" being the second single. Like its predecessor, "Inside Love", "Man with a Vision" was produced by John Parr. It peaked at number 91 in the UK and remained in the top 100 for two weeks. The limited commercial success of "Inside Love" and "Man With a Vision" led to the band being dropped by Polydor. They split shortly after due to a series of internal struggles and disagreements.
