Thanks for that link manana... have just pre-ordered an album from hmv to come out Jan. Reading the bio he has been gone a while now after a heart attack due to his weight.. shame.. great voice !

Currently number 69 in the UK singles chart. The top 100 is a useful reference for finding songs used in adverts/strictly/xfactor as the interest generated tends to lead to download sales and hence a reappearance in the charts.
For example Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues is back in at number 51 after it was sung on X factor.
