Bloody hell what a shock! I loved his addicted to love song and video.
Was this out of the blue or had he heart problems before?
I for one am very shocked

'Double Fun' had some of the best blue-eyed soul I'd heard, and his version of 'Whisper To a Scream' just oozed blues.
I saw him with 'Vinegar Joe', the fact that he was a great bass-player has been forgotten since he went solo as a singer .

"Every Kind Of People" must be one of the all-time classics of soul - it's number 1 with me anyway.

I was always a Johnny and Mary guy myself.
Johnnys always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he aint lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim
etc

Stunned. RP (clean, tidy bloke) dies young (ish) but Keith Richards (does everything ill advised) lives on. Lessons learnt?
