    RIP Colin Vearncombe.

    Name probably doesn't mean a lot to many people but he was a main player in late 80's pop under the name BLACK. Perhaps best remembered for the atmospheric " Wonderful Life " and also " Sweetest Smile ".

    Another one of the singers I grew up listening to gone, that's three in less than a month. Got the feeling it's gonna be a bad year.

          Aye, I read that yesterday too - real shame. I had read that he had been in an accident a couple of weeks ago, and sort of assumed that he had recovered as there was no more reports.

          RIP Black
