Advantages: Masterful lyrics, unique vocal talent Disadvantages: It's Not You Lady Jane - poor bonus would have been better left off
...- oh yes, it's a wonderful life alright.
Black was born plain Colin Vearncombe in West Derby, Liverpool in 1962. The stage name apparently comes from a tribal musical notation system which uses colours - which makes perfect sense if you've ever heard the man singing. The lyrics are almost always as black as the key in which they're sung. A couple of songs could just about be described as "nervously hopeful", but that's as upbeat as you get.
And ... ...up.
