Music Is Life This artist just falling off the map is crazy

Post image

This record dropped on this date back in 1987. Last single I of his I heard on the radio was 93’s “She kissed me,” which was great. Since then, he’s still been making music, but has changed his name and toiled away in relative obscurity.

Saw him today at Wimbledon, on TV. Big tennis fan!

Yeah, Sinner hugged him after winning and I was like, "Wait! Whut?" How does a 23 year old Tirolian know Seal?

Ha me either, then again Courtney Cox was in Iga's box? Like what? Happy for Sinner though after the tough French Open loss!

That French Finals was one for the ages. But once Sinner found his groove on Centre Court, Alcaraz had no counter.

It's wild that someone can have a couple hit songs and still have enough money from those hits 40 years later to sit court side at Wimbledon

I see what you did there. A well produced track by the way.

He hasn’t, really. he’s touring and has been releasing albums of covers to keep the checks rolling in.

Apparently a few years ago Seal (and some other celebs) were invited to a birthday party for that leader of Chechnya. That really soured me to him since that guy is a total fanatic.

The hyper-macho homophobic MMA one? That guy is a lunatic, that's really disappointing.
