Yup. Sad. Not as well known as other recent deaths but still a loss.
I remember buying Black's first single in 1981.

Yes I bought his first few albums and they were pretty good. Very sad news.

Of course the haunting song "Wonderful Life" was a world wide hit and has recently been used on adverts with some Female singing it.He won't get all the accolades of some other higher

profile artists who have passed away recently,but I'm sure he influenced a lot of people.To young to die.

Great song, video and vocals. One of those great 80s songs that stood out big time against a sea of dross.
