I've just got home from work, dug out a compilation CD of his and found 'Headline News' on it, which is one of those songs EVERYBODY occasionally hums and never quite knows what song they're subliminally unconscious of. Or something.

So, um, yes - 'Headline News' is another decent one of his.

His disco songs--"H.A.P.P.Y. Radio" and "Contact"--are pretty wonderful, too.

Very very good, I am a happier person for hearing him on record.

RIP. My Weakness Is You = possibly the best song ever. :(

I hadn't realised at the time of first reading this that he had just died. RIP.

War - great tune.

I must listen to that Happy Radio track again and see what I think of it.
