Re: RIP Colin Vearncombe (Black)

I never knew that Black's real name was Colin Vearncombe and until reading about Colin's passing in the paper yesterday had never made the connection until thinking "I am sure that I noticed a thread on DYR about Colin passing away" and wondering and finally then realising that Colin was the singer Black. Wonderful Life indeed was a great authentic 1980s song indeed -with it almost authentically 1980s as a theme to the decade in a way like Top Gun and Berlin and Ice Ice Baby.

Very sad news.

I really like Wonderful Life, which was used as a backing track on Why Don't You? when they visited Germany, as well as sn advert for Cadbury's Strollers.
