Just heard on the Radio 2 news that Peter Sarstedt has died.
Where Do You Go To My Lovely is of course a classic. I also liked the follow up Frozen Orange Juice.
RIP |

I completely agree Schiz - both great tracks which have stood the test of time
Until very recently I never realised that early sixties singer Eden Kane was his brother as well as Robin of course who had success of his own
A New Year but sadly little change in the order of things so it would seem - a really sad loss _________________ Are you ready for a Ruddles? |

I was sad to hear about Peter, about an hour ago. I remember having a really good drawing of him on one of my school books. I cheated a bit, as I used carbon paper...but never told the other kids.
Sadly overlooked, is his first record, which should have been a massive hit. It got plenty of airplay on Radio One at the time.
I Am A Cathedral

Sad news indeed. I liked I am a Cathedral and the other 2 tracks mentioned.

Would never have remembered that one,Raver. He had a lovely voice.
Sad to read he suffered,in the last years of his life, with a rare progressive neurological condition.
Tim Rice played an Eden Kane record yesterday on SOTS and said he had seen him singing just a few months ago, sounding really good. |

Yes Becky. How cruel that he was unable to even pick up a guitar in his last years. The very thing that had given him so much joy. I know how I'd feel if that ever happened to me.
According to his website, he was unable to even use a computer, so how terribly sad and frustrating that must have been.
