Phantom 2,535 Posted January 14, 2016 Colin Vearncombe a.k.a. "Black" hospitalised and in critical condition after car crash: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jan/14/colin-vearncombe-black-in-critical-condition Had a hit album and two hit singles in the 80s. Kept recording until last year. I only remember him for the song "Wonderful Life". Fabulous song though. Heartbreakingly melancholy. My sister had the album, then gave it to me when she got rid of her record player. I still have it. Haven't played it in years though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Melua did a cover version for Premier Inn adverts last year. Not sure if the adverts are still being shown, but that could have been what started you thinking about the song.

Is that what I keep hearing on the telly? Dreadful version. It's keeping with the trend of taking a popular song from about 20-30 years ago, playing an acoustic version with the tempo slowed down. I think that trend started when companies started to use Eva Cassidy's version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" shortly after she died and her family started hawking her songs around.

That was a criminal record if ever there was one. Torturing poor little songs like that is pure evil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
