Yes very sad…just 53. RIP.
I put this on the “What Are You Listening To” thread a few minutes ago…
Sad news - a great talent.
Just talking about the Wonderful Life song the other day.
Great use of Steel Drums in that song, was only listening to it yesterday
I had no idea who this guy was until they played Wonderful Life on the radio. RIP dude.
I bought the album “Wonderful Life” back in 1987…I loved it then, I still do…hugely underrated crooner.
Very much of its time but none the worse for it…
Shame. I had this album on cassette and listened to it a lot, albeit it was a bit soppy. It was certainly a bit of rare pop quality, but I don’t recall many people liking anything or knowing anything on it other than “It’s a wonderful Life”
Ironically I sold the album and 100 other cassettes for $20 this very day, couldn’t have even played it in tribute anyway - no cassette player of course.
RIP to another performer from our era.
Not going to shed any tears though as I really hated that song and the dreary bleakness of his way of singing.
