beyond our ken Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I don't admit to knowing much bout this guy, but I enjoyed his big hit immensely and saw him on TV doing a great live version of it at prince's trust concert or somesuch sad loss Edited January 26, 2016 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Initially I saw the name on the front page and didn't put it together with "Black". Wonderful Life was his big hit single obviously but the album of the same name featured a great track called Sweetest Smile. It was a similarly bleak kind of ballad like Wonderful Life but it features a brilliant soprano sax played by Martin Green that just complimented the vocals and the bass really well. I'm not very good at putting descriptions to the music and I won't be doing it justice but it's one of those tracks well worth a listen.
